EDge, the postgraduate performance company of London Contemporary Dance School, celebrates its tenth birthday in 2010 with ten exceptional dancers, three international artists and three up-and-coming choreographers.

From solos to full company works, EDge's dancers transform rhythmic patterns, tender moments and quirky gestures into an inspiring evening of dance. The company's programme embraces live music, humour, flying tennis balls and the hidden secrets of a front garden. With innovative costumes and surprising choreography, these dancers will take your view of dance and turn it on its head. 

The work, specially created for EDge, includes full length pieces by international artists Wally Cardona (USA), Frauke Requardt (UK/Germany) and Rick Nodine (UK/USA), alongside shorter works by up and coming choreographers Darren Ellis (Richard Alston Dance Company), Lucy Suggate (a 2006 Place Prize finalist) and Nicholas Quinn (a collaborator with MIKS, Etta Ermini and Superlative Arts).

EDge showcases some of most exciting and critically acclaimed young choreographers, and the most promising from a new generation of contemporary dancers.
