British Theatre Guide

‘NOW’ celebrates the 25^th Anniversary of the Jasmin Vardimon Company.

The latest creation by award-winning choreographer Jasmin Vardimon MBE revisits favourite moments from the company’s repertoire, while reflecting the current moment, the present and the continuous movement of time.

Renowned for her uniquely theatrical choreography, an interest in contemporary lives, and the ever-changing socio-political dynamics, Jasmin uses her distinctive creative approach to celebrate imagination in a griping new production.

NOW is co-commissioned by Sadler’s Wells Theatre, Kent County Council, and the Institute of Cultural and Creative Industries, University of Kent.

'IN CONVERSATION WITH: Jasmin Vardimon'

Dancewatch / 11 March 2025

'"Vardimon’s involvement with text and spatial illusion brings both humour and emotional depth to the theatricality of her work. But the dancing in her compelling choreography, often in unison, always in unexpected configurations, proves even more hypnotic and sustains our imagination all by itself."'
