‘Choreographer Jasmin Vardimon is taking dance to the people.’

The Guardian

A magical, multi-sensory experience, Alice in VR Wonderland is an immersive, re-imagining of Lewis Carroll’s timeless tale. Using a VR headset and 3D surround sound, audiences are up close with the performers and completely immersed in a spectacular 360-degree virtual reality wonderland.

This work was created with the intention of bringing the art of dance out of the theatre and using new technology to reach and inspire a wider, more diverse, audience.
