We’re pleased to announce CONCORDE, a project celebrating 20 years of VERVE as NSCD’s postgraduate company, and the talent and artist development it has offered to hundreds of artists along the way.
Join us on stage
We’re looking for 20 dancers from VERVE 07 to today to join us on stage for a big finale at this year’s company premiere at Riley Theatre on Saturday 27 February 2027.
Share your practice
Some of the 20 artists who wish to will also have the opportunity to share their practice as part of an open exchange event on Sunday 28 February. How you present is entirely up to you: a class, a workshop, a presentation, or whatever feels right. It’s a day dedicated to sharing your artistic journey since leaving VERVE, with each other and with local artists and the public.
