Tuesday 19 April
Wednesday 04 May
With the mission to develop, encourage and cultivate both young talent and young audiences, Jasmin Vardimon Company has formed JV2. This year’s JV2 are an ensemble of 16 international students, hand-picked by Artistic Director Jasmin Vardimon. JV2 2016 is a triple bill featuring Jasmin Vardimon’s work (in between), first created for the National Youth Dance Company, which echoes the relationship between humans and the natural environment. It also includes new works by AΦE and Vinicius Salles.
“…there is such robustness, rigor and athleticism on show amongst these outstanding young performers”
Blink is a dance-theatre interpretation of American author Mitch Albom’s novel The Five People You Meet in Heaven, created by awardwinning choreographer John Ross. Eddie, a bitter old man, dies trying to save a little girl. So begins a series of encounters with five important people from instrumental periods in his life. Set to the beautifully haunting music of composer Greg Haines, Blink stages Ross’s signature trademark of emotive and physically compelling storytelling. John Ross won the New Adventures Choreographer Award 2013 and was named as one of the BBC’s Performing Arts Fund’s 32 Ones to Watch for 2015.
