AXIS Dance Company presents Flutter
Robert Dekkers’ Flutter was originally created for Post:ballet in 2010. The complex musicality, spatial shifts, and physicality in this dance for camera showcases the AXIS dancers' strengths as individuals and as a collective.
"Flutter is a meditation on the relationship between masculinity and femininity, form and freedom, contraction and expansion."
—Robert Dekkers
