A celebration of 25 years
As part of the celebration of the company’s 25th Anniversary, NOW revisits iconic moments from Jasmin Vardimon’s celebrated repertoire, while capturing the essence of the present moment and the continuous passage of time.

As the only Scottish venue on this tour, it really is an unmissable opportunity for dance fans to see this remarkable show.”
The NOW tour, which launched in Canterbury in September, has already garnered anticipation with its thought-provoking choreography and celebration of imagination. Featuring an international cast of performers, this new production promises to transport audiences through moments of artistic beauty and introspection, reflecting on contemporary life in a rapidly changing world.
A rare opportunity for Scottish audiences
