JV2 2016

Jasmin Vardimon Company’s professional development company, JV2 takes to the road this spring to present a programme of both new and established work that showcases the wealth of talent in the current company. With the mission to develop, encourage and cultivate young talent and young audiences, Jasmin Vardimon Company created JV2 as an educational initiative aimed at the recently qualified or those already working professionally in order to deliver a Professional Development Certificate. This year’s JV2, are an ensemble of 16 young, talented international dancers, hand-picked by Artistic Director Jasmin Vardimon.

JV2 2016 features Jasmin Vardimon’s work (in between) – first created for the National Youth Dance Company in 2013 and premiered at Sadlers Wells. Trapped in flux between the force of the group and the power of the individual, the work echoes relationships between humans and the natural environment.

AΦE, Ashford-based dance company founded in 2013 by Esteban Fourmi and Aoi Nakamura presents a work that questions the notion of presence and the realms of studio to performance and Vinicius Salles offers an inquiry of social judgments, acceptance of differences, and superficial assumptions of the “other”.
