ARTISTIC POLICY
Ludus Dance works predominantly with new and first time dance audiences, exploring dance as a social force, and has a 33-year history of producing issue-based dance theatre productions.

Ludus Dance advocates dance as an educational process and as an art form, creating a legacy of controversial but relevant work that becomes an inspirational, international influence.

REVIEW EXTRACTS
From the reaction of Friday's sell-out show…dance isn't about tutus, tap shoes and flounces, it can tell stories reflecting real life and in doing so, make us approach life's ups and downs with a more broadminded attitude.
Lancaster Guardian
Using fantastically ridiculous costumes, highly imaginative audio-visual aids and a creative brand of abstract dance set against the frenetic pace of techno-beats, Clash turned out to be one of the most provocative stage performances ever seen on the Kuala Lumpur stage.
The Star Malaysia
A fine performance with great choreography, use of film footage, modern music, dynamic and high energy dance to enrapture their audience.
