| Mark Edward & Company Dance Theatre. Updated |
Mark Edward is nationally renowned for creating work that has a very distinct personal and choreographic signature. Mark has worked for Rambert Dance Company (Ballet Rambert), Penny Arcade (Andy Warhol film 'star') Julie Tolentino (Madonna's collaborator) Senza Tempo Dance Theatre Company, Susan Pui San Lok and a range of other high profiling artists. Mark Edward & Company Dance Theatre work has a specific quirky language that combines dark humour, irony and parody. His choreographic ‘style’ fuses a range of art forms together in order to allow for a varied performance aesthetic. Mark is known for his hilarious ‘playfulness’ and his wicked sense of humour which transfers into his choreography. This has ranged from 7ft rabbits invading the performance space; handbags falling from ‘grace’; huge trampolines; dancing nuns; drag artists as 1950’s usherettes; electronic scooters en mass; fire works; bingo callers; original 90 year old Vaudeville performers; 2ft stiletto heal shoes; grand pianos with their own ‘personality’ and a dance language that reaps a fresh insight. He has created a series of works for a broad base of dance companies; community groups; showcase arenas and commissioned educational environments as ‘artist in residence’. Each choreographic work Mark creates his visually rich and defies a specific ‘category’.
Mark holds an MA in Dance Studies, a B.A (Hons) in Live Art, Dance & Drama, a PG-Cert in Teaching & Learning, a Nat-Dip in Dance & Drama, Higher Education Academy member and was awarded Teaching Fellow in 2008 by Edge Hill University in recognition of his innovative contributions to dance and excellence in teaching and learning his field of practice.
