ARTISTIC POLICY
To constantly push the boundaries of contemporary dance theatre using a variety of theatrical approaches. To produce high quality, thought-provoking, accessible performance work that reflects our contemporary society.

REVIEW EXTRACTS
‘Vividly physical and quirky performances… the audience was on its feet cheering... Vardimon seems poised to be the next big popular British export.’ New York Times

‘Vardimon is a powerful voice in physical theatre and the daring movements she creates leave scars on the memory.’ The Guardian

‘Choreography that is both dangerous and beautiful… impassioned and remarkable.’ Daily Mail

CURRENT PRODUCTIONS
A retrospective evening featuring some of the most breathtaking duets, striking solos and iconic moments selected from the past 10 years of the company’s repertoire: Tete, Lurelurelure, Ticklish, Lullaby, Park and Justitia, interwoven with new choreographic material. Contrasting flashes of daring athleticism with moments of touching beauty, the piece will interweave scenes of intimate and vulnerable tenderness with provocative and playful choreography, remaining as stirring and socially relevant as ever. (Approx 75 mins, no interval, 8 on stage, 13 on the road, contains some strong language and material of an adult nature.)

Invites the audience on an investigative journey as it unravels the multiple truths concealed behind a gripping crime story. Presented on a revolving stage, the audience will witness the action from different perspectives – at the crime scene, in the courthouse, inside an intimate group therapy room – revealing new realities as a series of secrets unfold. Fiercely athletic and beautifully detailed, delivering a generous mix of energetic dance, a sharp script and breath-taking music. (Approx 120 mins including interval, 8 on stage, 13 on the road, contains some strong language and material of an adult nature.)

FUTURE PRODUCTIONS
New Work (title tbc) Choreographed for the large-scale, this new production is set to premiere at Brighton Dome in September 2010 and to tour nationally and internationally throughout 2010–11. (Times tbc, 8 on stage, 13 on the road, contains some strong language and material of an adult nature.)

WRAP-AROUND

The company can also be commissioned to create works for other companies during a longer artist in residency period.
