AXIS Dance Company celebrates 25 years with this collaborative new work choreographed by Victoria Marks and composed by Beth Custer.

This dynamic trio gives urban tribalism a whole new soundtrack.
Founded in 1991 by Kent and Custer, Trance Mission, the widely acclaimed “4th World” quartet out of the Bay Area, performed extensively up and down the West Coast and on several successful european tours during the 1990’s. Together they created four seminal recordings which were released on San Francisco’s City of Tribes label, the first three of which, “Trance Mission”, “Meanwhile” and “Head Light” included John Loose on drums and Kenneth Newby on Indonesian winds & percussion and atmospheric electronics. The fourth CD, ‘A Day Out of Time’ featured Kent & Custer with Peter Valsamis on drums and Electronics and Eda Maxym on vocals.
This concert, the first reunion of these 3 musicians for over a decade, will revisit trio versions of classic TM works from that era and unleash some new compositions hot off the presses.
Don’t miss an extraordinary evening of gorgeous melodies, scintillating rhythms, and ecstatic drones, with occasional droll interludes.
I’m excited to be a part of Rob Reich’s new quintet. He’s a compositional force to be reckoned with! Check back for our exact showtime.
