Jasmin Vardimon Company Presents JV2

As a central part of their expanding education commitment, Jasmin Vardimon's professional development company, JV2 takes to the road this spring with fourteen young talented, international dancers hand selected by Jasmin Vardimon and a programme of work that celebrates and showcases their wealth of talent.

JV2 2019 premieres works created by David Lloyd and Maria Doulgeri. The triple bill will culminate with Tomorrow, first created in 2013. As one of JV2's signature works - choreographed by award-winning, Jasmin Vardimon, this piece celebrates favourite moments from Park, Justitia, 7734 and Yesterday, and has been transformed into a vibrant and powerful explosion of exceptional talent especially for JV2.

Now in its 7th year, the established JV2 Professional Development Diploma was developed by Jasmin Vardimon Company with the mission to encourage, cultivate and nurture young talent and young audiences.

Jasmin Vardimon says
Now in its 7th year, JV2 continues to nurture young talented dancers and at the same time commission emerging choreographers to create new work for them, whilst collaborating with up and coming designers. The combination of young talent is exhilarating to watch and support, and I'm looking forward to present their work to our audiences.

Born out of Vardimon's search for performers able to express themselves on a multitude of levels, technically, theatrically, emotionally and vocally, JV2 continues to nurture a hand-picked selection of the most talented young individuals who look to bridge the gap between student graduate and professional. Combining high level physical and theatrical training, choreography and other stagecraft with career and professional skills, the aim is to enable students to release their potential in order to become mature, honest, versatile and employable performers.

JV2's Professional Development Diploma has become a recognised training route for young performers from all over the world. 83% of all graduates to date are currently employed in the sector as performers, choreographers or involved in dance education. To date, Jasmin Vardimon Company have commissioned 12 choreographers at the early stage of their choreographic career, and all have gone on to create or produce their own work and companies.

JV2 offers the opportunity not only to nurture young talented performers, and choreographers, but also young costume designers, photographers and lighting designers who all collaborate on the production of the touring work. Relationships with Wimbledon College of Art, Ashford College and Rose Bruford College have been established to offer these placement opportunities over the course of twenty-five weeks to develop young artists and give them a platform to develop their work in a professional environment. To date, twenty-three costume designers and six lighting designers have taken the opportunity of these creative internships with JV2.

The JV2 Professional Development Diploma is an integral part of Jasmin Vardimon's unique and hugely respected education programme. Sitting alongside it, is a rich programme of other educational activity which includes the work the company contributes as named practitioner on the Dance 'A' Level syllabus, Continuing Professional Development Courses for Teachers, an array of repertory and creative workshops and JV2's sister course - JVIntensive.
