History
Axis Theatre Company is a theatre company based in Vancouver. Lin Bennett, Wendy Gorling, Elizabeth Murray-Byers and Wayne Specht, who became the founding Artistic Director, came together as a group in 1973-74. Each member trained at either Etienne Decroux or L’Ecole Lecoq and were eager to promote their chosen art form. The Axis Mime Theatre Society incorporated in May 1975 as the next step to access financial support to create the structure needed to administer their activities on a consistent, professional level. Over 40 years later, Axis Theatre Company continues to create original physical theatre productions for the young and young at heart.
