REVIEW EXTRACTS
'Choreography that is both dangerous and beautiful… impassioned and remarkable.' Daily Mail

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

'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

CURRENT PRODUCTIONS
Justitia The piece 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 witnesses 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, delivering a generous mix of energetic dance, a sharp script and breath-taking music. (85 mins approx., 7 on stage, 10 on the road, contains some strong language, material of an adult nature)

Park Set in an urban oasis, a place of refuge from ordinary life, eight characters play, fight, fall in love and learn to survive. Their stories intertwine, creating a modern day fairy tale that is alternately sharp, funny and cruel. Park delivers fresh statements about our time, treating us to Vardimon’s insightful humour and beautifully detailed movement. (95 mins approx., 8 on stage, 11 on the road, some strong language and nudity)

Lullaby Darkly disturbing insight into our relationship with illness and hospitalisation. A complete sensory experience – visual, aural and emotional – that speaks on multiple levels. (75 mins, 5 dancers, 8 on the road, contains some strong language, brief nudity and some scenes with violence)
