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. Yesterday is a retrospective piece featuring some of the most breathtaking duets, striking solos and iconic moments selected from the company's acclaimed repertoire: Justitia, Park, Lullaby, T?te, Lurelurelure and Ticklish. Interwoven with new choreographic material, live video and animation, this bold new work resounds with passion, precision and Jasmin Vardimon's trademark physicality. Contrasting daring athleticism with moments of touching beauty, the company of eight dancers interweave scenes of intimate and vulnerable tenderness with provocative, playful choreography that remains as stirring and socially relevant as ever. Yesterday is produced in association with Brighton Dome with support from Sadler's Wells, National Theatre and The Place Theatre. Jasmin Vardimon Company is funded by Arts Council England.
