Educational Company


The Jasmin Vardimon Educational Company engages thousands of participants each year, from young people in schools and community projects to professional development programmes.
In 2009, Vardimon developed a Higher Education programme, which has since been led by her company as a Postgraduate Certificate in Physical Theatre for Dancers and Actors at Royal Holloway, University of London.
The Postgraduate Certificate in Physical Theatre for Dancers and Actors is a "Continuing Professional Development course for postgraduate experienced dancers and actors moving into a new area of new work – namely dance theatre. This course introduces new techniques that combine vocal, kinaesthetic and visual skills and responses."
Since September 2011, Vardimon has been a visiting professor at the University of Wolverhampton and Jasmin Vardimon Company donates an annual prize for drama graduates of the university.
In 2012, the Jasmin Vardimon Educational Company launched JV2, a one year Professional Development Certificate course, based in Ashford at the Jasmin Vardimon Production Space. The JV2 course aims to develop, encourage and cultivate young talent and young audiences. It is a practical course designed to bridge the gap between student and professional life, and aims to train participants as versatile and multi-disciplinary performers by exploring the dialogue between dance and theatre, improving strength, endurance and technique. Towards the end of the course the students form a young company, experiencing touring nationally alongside the Jasmin Vardimon Company.

Other community-based projects that the Jasmin Vardimon Educational Company take part in organising and delivering include, INSPIRE, People United, ART31, Big Dance, National Youth Dance Company, Youth Justice System Intensive Week; NHS workshops with Speech Language and Communication Caseload; and Kent Public Health Six Ways to Wellbeing Creative Commissioning projects.
