Phoenix Dance

Overview

A heroic journey of transformation and healing, Phoenix Dance challenges our expectations of what it means to be ""disabled."" In March, 2001, renowned dancer Homer Avila discovered that the pain in his hip was cancer. A month later, his right leg and most of his hip were amputated. Through interviews, studio rehearsals, and performances, Phoenix Dance follows the evolution of Pas, a pas de deux created for Avila by choreographer Alonzo King.
