Details

Jasmin Vardimon Company (JVC) is one of Britain's most pioneering physical dance theatre companies, creating work that excites both the eye and the mind by pushing the boundaries of human physicality whilst engaging in universal, contemporary themes that strike an emotional chord. Vardimon's powerful art of story-telling integrates multiple layers of communication - combining dance, movement, video, animation, text and music. Her sharp instincts and keen observations of human behaviour deliver beautifully precise characterisation, powerfully brought to life by her company of versatile dancers. Cast from around the world, each performer brings his/her own unique experience, with dynamic results. JV2 2015 is choreographed and directed by Marilena Dara, Mafalda Deville and Athanasia Kanellopoulou. With the mission to develop, encourage and cultivate young talent and young audiences, Jasmin Vardimon Company (JVC) formed JV2, a programme culminating in a Professional Development Certificate. This year's JV2 are a vibrant and fresh new group of 14 young international dancers, hand-picked by Artistic Director Jasmin Vardimon. The Company has commissioned three female choreographers who have worked with the company in a variety of roles. Former JVC dancer Mafalda Deville's work Silence was originally created in 2013 and is an athletic and gutsy work, dealing with loss and longing that punches with a strong visual style alongside music from Marilyn Manson and Tchaikovsky. JV2 co-course leader Marilena Dara and former Jasmin Vardimon Company dancer Athanasia Kanellopoulou have created powerful new works specifically for this year's JV2 tour. "No other show has demonstrated the strength of dancers and the positive productivity of choreography for our generation. If you can catch this show do. It will make you look at dance in a whole new light " INQUIRE on JV2 2013 Jasmin Vardimon Dance Company website.
