Founded in 1984 by Clea Wallis and Paul Rous, Dudendance has built a reputation in the UK, Europe and South America for combining live performance with filmmaking.
Dudendance’s work defies singular interpretation, existing within an ever evolving narrative whereby characters re-emerge in later work. Very often live performance is transposed into film – shifting from the rehearsal studio to on location and re-absorbed into live work. The starting point remains physical, devised and often collaborating with international artists as well as groups of non-professionals.
Based in Huntly, Aberdeenshire since 2002 Clea and Paul have worked with young people creating film and performance within the local landscape. Recently Dudendance toured When Droopy met Hal, an international co-production with Fabrik Potsdam. The company is currently working on a site-specific performance involving the local community for Battlehill Woods. Some work exists purely on film.
