Founded 1998, Jasmin Vardimon Company is a leading force in British dance theatre for over 25 years. It has built a reputation for challenging & visually arresting dance productions infused with social & political commentary.
With a uniquely individual choreographic voice, distinguished by beautifully detailed movement, humour & engaging drama, the company is renowned for physical & theatrical style. Accentuated with acute observation of human behaviour, it incorporates innovative technologies, text & dance. Associate Artist of Sadler’s Wells, the company tours nationally & internationally.
NOW is a contemporary dance theatre production created to mark the 25th anniversary of the Jasmin Vardimon Company. Combining newly created choreography with reimagined moments from the company’s repertoire, the work responds to the present moment rather than looking back nostalgically.
Performed by an international ensemble, NOW brings together powerful physical movement, visual imagery, projection and sound to explore time, love, relationships, freedom and human connection within today’s complex social landscape. The piece reflects on the transition between past and future, asking how our point of view is shaped by what we see and by the realities we inhabit.
With its strong visual language, emotional accessibility and universal themes, NOW is well suited for international festivals and performing arts markets. The production can also be accompanied by artist-led workshops, offering audiences and presenters a deeper engagement with the company’s physical language and artistic vision.
