“Over the last 4 years, AXIS has been deeply exploring what accessibility really means for us as a company – both internally and externally. Striving for greater accessibility in the dance and performing arts field can not be done by disabled artists alone. We need the field as a whole to challenge perceptions and critically think about tangible actions to ensure full access for artists and audiences alike. We hope The Access Guide will ignite a deeper understanding of accessibility in the performing arts and support presenters, venues, touring staff, and organizations to design their journeys through – and commitments to – accessibility.”
– Danae Rees – Managing Director, AXIS Dance Company
