Description

JV2 Professional Development Diploma provides participants with a unique opportunity to train and develop as versatile and multi-disciplinary performers, culminating in public performances, alongside Jasmin Vardimon Company. JV2 are likely to work closely with the main company. With its direct relationship to one of the foremost creative minds in the UK, the programme offers participants access to the processes of Jasmin Vardimon Company and the opportunity to learn the technical foundations of dance theatre, as well as the specific approach developed by Vardimon. Alongside dance techniques, the JV2 Professional Development Diploma explores theatrical skills, voice coaching, body conditioning, analytical and education techniques, music and the visual arts. JV2 is designed for a small group of participants, allowing one on one interaction with company members. It is an ideal opportunity for dancers to deepen their knowledge of Vardimon’s methodology and apply it to their own creative exploration. Working side by side with the professional touring company in repertoire rehearsals, participants will gain an insight into the working environment of a touring company. Vardimon and guest choreographers will create works for the group, transforming them into the JV2 Company, who celebrate the end of the programme with performances, showcasing their work. Participants will also gain experience and guidance in education delivery through Jasmin Vardimon Company methods, building confidence as dance educators of future generations. It is hoped that from this programme, performers will be selected to enter the Jasmin Vardimon Company, go forward to lead educational work with the Jasmin Vardimon Creative Learning team or continue as successful artists in their chosen path*.
