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 PRODUCTION
Justitia 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 witness the action from different perspectives – at the crime scene, in the court house, inside an intimate group therapy room – revealing new realities as a series of secrets unfold. Fiercely athletic and beautifully detailed, the show delivers a generous mix of energetic dance, a sharp script and breath-taking music. (Approx 120 mins including interval, 8 on stage, 11 on the road, contains some strong language and material of an adult nature.)

FUTURE PRODUCTION
Duets (working title) A retrospective evening featuring some of the most breath-taking 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 120 mins including interval, 8 on stage, 11 on the road, contains some strong language and material of an adult nature.)

WRAP-AROUND
Workshops and residencies working with 14+ years; professional development for dance practitioners; teacher training; and post-performance talks.
