Edgy Women is a feminist experimental art event devised by Ginestier and produced by Studio 303. Edgy Women began as a one-night dance event in 1994, eventually blossoming into an expanded festival format in multiple venues. In 2013, the festival celebrated its 20th and final edition with a SPORTS/ART/GENDER theme at a boxing club and hockey rink. In 2013, Studio 303 rebranded the event into the concise Edgy Redux for a three-year run ending in March 2016, with the theme THE END.
