(and exhale!)
Unlike other festivals BDE is targeted primarily at promoters so tickets for some shows will be hard to come by. There are two evenings of triple bills at Livepool's large Empire Theatre featuring Shobana Jeyasingh Dance Company, Hofesh Shechter, Richard Alston Dance Company, Russell Maliphant Dance Company, Scottish Dance Theatre and Henri Oguike Dance Company on January 31st and February 2nd. The size of the venue should make securing tickets a lot easier.
You can read comprehensive details about the festival on their website, tickets for some events can be booked online.
British Dance Edition 2008 runs from January 30th until February 2nd in Liverpool.
