World famous choreographer Jasmin Vardimon will premiere her new production ‘NOW’ at the Gulbenkian in Canterbury, Kent, before it tours the UK.
Now based in its stunning, purpose-built studios in Ashford, Jasmin Vardimon’s creation will reflect the current moment, the present, and the continuous movement of time.
Renowned for her uniquely theatrical choreography, interest in contemporary lives and the ever-changing socio-political dynamics, NOW is set to be an enticing and gripping production, where Vardimon uses her distinctive dance theatre and creative approach to tell a story of our time.
With a remarkable international cast of performers, incredibly thought-provoking choreography and iconic moments from the Company repertoire, NOW will celebrate the beauty of imagination and art.
NOW is co-commissioned by Sadler’s Wells London, Kent County Council, and the Institute of Cultural and Creative Industries, University of Kent. Jasmin Vardimon has been an Associate Artist for Sadler’s Wells and the iCCi for many years and the relationships have continued to develop through the creation, premieres and performances of Jasmin’s critically acclaimed works.
The premiere of NOW will take place at the Gulbenkian, Canterbury, Kent on Thursday 19th September 2024, with further performances on the 20th & 21st of September before heading off on tour.
The 25th Anniversary year of the Company has already been momentous with the UK tour of ALiCE in January, the launch of JVyoU, a Youth Company, a brand-new website for the company, the continuing success of the JV H.O.M.E in Ashford, and the creation and premiere of NOW. The company is also set to tour internationally with a first visit to China in August.
