Black Hair's programme for the Cutting Edge comprises a range of rich and diverse contemporary pieces; some are extremely delicate, almost secretive, while others are raucous and confrontational. Most of this programme was composed especially for Black Hair, often through close collaboration. The ensemble creates innovative and engaging performances, drawing out the innate theatre of musical expression and ensemble interaction, making subtle use of lighting, space, and sometimes movement. Black Hair has performed widely in the North, the South-West, and even in Europe, but this is their first London performance: one not to miss.'
