JV2 – 2020

Jasmin Vardimon Company formed JV2 with the mission to develop, encourage and cultivate young talent. The only UK based dance company to offer a full-time one-year professional development certificate, JVC provides participants with a unique opportunity to train as versatile and multi-disciplinary performers and to learn the technical foundations of dance theatre as well as the specific approach developed by Jasmin Vardimon. Including the touring of new repertoire developed specifically for the group, participants also learn how to educate through Jasmin Vardimon Company methods, building confidence as dance educators for future generations. The JVC Certificate aims to develop performers who will be selected to enter the Jasmin Vardimon Company, go forward to lead educational work under the JVC umbrella, or continue as successful performers in their chosen path.

JV2 2020 premieres works by Mafalda Deville (ex-company dancer) and Anthony Matsena (Sadler’s Wells Young Associate) along with an inspiring new piece by multi-award winning Jasmin Vardimon. Vardimon’s new work Dark Moon has been created especially for this year’s JV2 from favourite moments of her company’s repertoire, transforming sections from Park, Medusa, 7734 and Freedom into a breathtaking new experience. This vibrant dance ensemble, hand-picked by Jasmin Vardimon following an international audition process, celebrates the culmination of their training with three captivating, powerful and resonant works.
