Dear Mike and Nancy, As always, it was an enormous pleasure to see you two at work, to learn more about your rhythmic techniques, and enjoy your company. Mike, as I have said to many people, your performances are the "purest art in the percussion field." Nancy, your dance defines lyric grace for me -- it's so expressive in so many different ways. On behalf of the University of Colorado, our students (who greatly appreciated the generous gifts of your time), and me (one of your devoted fans), I thank you for sharing your gifts with us.

Each time Equilibrium comes to the University of Akron, they bring fresh, innovative musical and dance ideas that are wonderful. They have a sincere approach with our students in the workshops, and their magically creative concerts make our audiences sit on the edge of their seats.

- Dr. Larry Snider,
Director of Percussion, The University of Akron

I have had the pleasure of knowing the work of Equilibrium over the last decade and have always enjoyed their professional level of artistic achievement...During their residency (March 1980), their master classes for both musicians and dancers were well conceived and expertly presented, and their evening concert left lasting impressions on all members of the audience. Together Michael and Nancy Udow blended rhythms and textures into a rich and memorable mosaic of music and dance. The performance by Equilibrium at our 1992 Percussion Festival was a mature, artistic exhibition of ideas and concepts that have evolved to an unparalleled position in the arts...We look forward enthusiastically to their innovative contributions in the years ahead.

The University of Arizona-Tucson

I have had to pleasure of hosting a residency with Equilibrium at the University of Kentucky. Michael and Nancy Udow are both expressive performing artists and articulate individuals. They are highly effective in an environment that requires artistic sensitivity and flexibility. They are able to communicate to audiences of all experience levels and ages through an eclectic blend of music and movement. Their original works present an accessible and inspired synergy of dance and percussion. Hands-on workshops put the participants in direct contact with leading edge performance dynamics. A residency with Equilibrium is a must for any contemporary fine arts program.

- Professor James Campbell, Professor of Percussion, University of Kentucky

Equilibrium's appearance on the performing arts series was a big success. The morning clinic for music and theater arts students generated so much interest, the evening concert was an enthusiastic sell out to students and public, alike.

The Equilibrium dance and percussion duo, comprised of Nancy and Michael Udow, performs often at Interlochen. Their artistic presentation has a way of communicating with audiences of all ages and backgrounds. The students of both the Interlochen Arts Camp and the Interlochen Arts Academy leave the performances inspired and excited. The Udows' creative interaction of acoustic percussion, music technology, dance, costume, drama, and humor results in an experience that combines the past with the future. It draws on the roots of two outstanding artists and reveals their commitment to one another, their art, and their audiences.

- Mr. John Alfieri, Percussion Instructor,
Interlochen Arts Academy

The visit by Michael and Nancy Udow to the University of North Florida, sponsored by both the Music Department and the Student Government Association, proved inspiring to all...The duo Equilibrium opened many doors of playing, listening, and performance possibilities to all the students involved, and we are all anxious for them to return.

- Professor Charlotte Mabrey, Associate Professor of Music, University of North Florida

There is a reason why I've twice hosted Equilibrium at Texas Tech University. Michael and Nancy Udow are true artists, performing leading edge compositions in a multi-media format. Having them on campus is inspirational, motivating, and educational. Not only will percussion and dance students benefit, but also all musicians and patrons of the arts will find them interesting and exciting. This type of performance artistry needs your support. I highly recommend bringing Equilibrium to your community.
