Edward Lloyd (he/they) is a British-Dutch performer and artistic researcher based in Amsterdam. They hold a BA in Ballet and Contemporary Dance from Rambert School and are currently completing an MA in Performance Practices at ArtEZ University of the Arts.
Their practice unfolds at the intersection of choreography and cultural studies. Working across dancing, writing, and drawing as entangled improvisation practices, their research explores ambiguity as strategy for resisting binary categorisations across both artistic practice and institutional navigation.
Edward has performed and developed work with Marina Abramović, Jennifer Tee, Kris Verdonck, Ula Sickle, Boris Acket, and LA(HORDE), among others. Their most sustained collaboration has been with Emio Greco and Pieter C. Scholten (ICKamsterdam), where they toured extensively and worked as Rehearsal Director.
They have taught at several art academies including Amsterdam University of the Arts, ArtEZ University of the Arts, Fontys Academy of the Arts, and the Royal Academy of Art, The Hague.
Edward is currently collaborating with Amsterdam-based choreographers Clarinde Wesselink and Elisa Zuppini.
