CODC was first seeded under the gentle guidance of Polly Morris and bloomed in the collaboration of the amazing CODC alumni and guest artists over the past 20 years.   This anniversary show is carried, also, by the incredible CODC 2025 company for their commitment, focus, curiosity, open-minds, and passionate dancing.
