We chatted to the choreographer about her latest show ‘NOW’, heading to Sadler’s Wells East (5th to the 8th March) as part of a UK tour .
Hi Jasmin, what can audiences expect from ‘NOW’? NOW is a celebration of images and imagination. It revisits favourite moments from 25 years of the company’s repertoire and presents them through a current perspective.
How does it feel to be presenting it at Sadler’s Wells East? It is exciting. For 20 years I’ve been a Sadler’s Wells Associate Artist and with performing at Sadler’s Wells East, I’ll be the first artist to present work on all four Sadler’s Wells stages. It is always exciting to introduce my work to new audiences as well as share more with those who are more familiar with my work.
What do you enjoy the most about being a choreographer? The opportunity to use imagination on a daily basis and utilise it as the main force and tool to discover more and develop myself and the artists I collaborate with.
How does it feel to be celebrating the 25th anniversary of the company? It is a milestone and a very exciting one. It’s an opportunity to reflect on the creative journey we’ve made so far and revisit some moments that have left their mark.
What advice would you give someone looking to enter the industry? To invest in yourself through varied research and experiences that enrich your personal resources to be drawn from, and to feed your curiosity constantly.
