Judith Smith : Artistic Director, AXIS Dance Company
After breaking her neck in a car accident and navigating a difficult period of rehabilitation, Judith Smith--a woman compelled to push boundaries and see what’s possible--found herself intrigued by movement and dance, wanting to explore what her newly disabled body could do. In 1987, she cofounded AXIS Dance Company (then AXIS Dance Troupe), which pioneered physically-integrated dance, dance created through the collaboration of dancers with and without disabilities. Under Judith Smith’s creative leadership, AXIS has grown over the years into a dynamic ensemble, known internationally for its artistic excellence. The company has received numerous prestigious dance awards and has worked with some of the nation’s leading choreographers. Deeply committed to promoting and supporting physically-integrated dance, AXIS has also created a comprehensive community education/outreach program.
