Udifydance Company Performance and Education
Udifydance Company is an all male contemporary dance company founded in 2008 by Artistic Directors Chay Burrows and Christopher Reynolds. Their first duet, ‘PLeX’ was performed across West Sussex, Hampshire and London before collaborating with musician George Art Baker, a relationship that has since seen the two work together on Within Space(2009) and Out From Out Where (2010). The Company became associates of The Point in 2009, where they created the critically acclaimed All For A Few before performing as part of Resolution! 10 at The Place, London.
