Every body carries patterns of movement, habit, culture, identity, and history. These patterns shape how we navigate the world—they repeat, evolve, and at times constrain us. Through a series of live dance performances and a short film from AXIS Dance Company and acclaimed choreographers Nadia Adame, Sonya Delwaide, Christopher Unpezverde Nunez, Kayla Hamilton, and Natasha Adorlee, Patterns explores how individuality are expressions of the infinite ways we move and connect. Witness this celebration of humanity in motion, and experience the new possibilities that emerge.

approx. 75 minutes, with one intermission

Concessions will be for sale – please put your mask back on after temporarily removing to take a sip or bite. Please note that masks will be encouraged but not required on the first floor of the Lesher Center, where you will enter the building.

This tour is prioritized for people who are blind or low-vision, but it is also open to others interested in an inside experience of the performance.
