"You say a word, I say a word, and we will make a sentence" That's the premise of the Axis Dance Company's premiere of Full of Words, presented by Tigertail Productions Saturday at 8 p.m. at the Colony Theatre. The dancers will create language with their bodies, completing a romantic dialogue with movements that will approximate letters, consonants, vowels, words, and finally sentences. Oh yeah, and the troupe is made up of both abled and disabled dancers, part of the annual danceAble festival, presented by the Florida Dance Association. Two other performances — The Narrowing and Light Shelter — will also take over the stage. The entire extravaganza proves again that Miami is the place for sophisticated and quality dance.
