Company Chordelia was formed in April 2002 by choreographer and Artistic Director, Kally Lloyd-Jones and is based in Glasgow. The company creates, produces and tours performance work, largely in Scotland. Company Chordelia aims to produce high calibre and innovative performance work which is truly accessible to a general, as well as an established dance audience, creating theatrical dance work which is idiosyncratic, artistically challenging and appeals on an emotional level using a wide range of dance and theatre styles, music and often, humour. We aim to attract new people to dance by using the medium of dance alongside other art forms and genres. In our general concern about audiences we tour as widely as possible in Scotland, and also engage in workshops and pre/post performance activities.
Dance works include Blood, Sweat & Shopping (2002), Saturday Night Divas (2003 & 2004), Play On! (2004), Cinderella Pilot Error! (2005), Red Shoes (2006/7) (d. M. Popper), 73 1/2 Minutes To Make A Good Impression (2008) (d.M Popper), Les Amoureux (2009) and Cabaret Chordelia (2009). Company Chordelia has appeared at Defining Moments (2003), performed twice outside at the Critic Awards for Theatre in Scotland, at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2007 and 2010 and has been regularly supported on a project basis by the Scottish Arts Council and Glasgow City Council. Company Chordelia is a Scottish Charity and the recent recipient of Scottish Arts Council Flexible Funding 2009-11 and 2011-13.
