Rambert
Rambert is throwing open the doors of its award-winning new building in London’s south bank to show visitors what goes on behind the scenes at Britain’s national dance company, along with the chance to join in.
Rambert Revealed is a week-long programme of events, tours and classes. There will be opportunities for people to get a sneak preview of Rambert’s newest dance works, to gain insight into the choreographic process, to explore the company’s extensive archive, and much more.
Highlights include a rehearsal with a full orchestra of ShobanaJeyasingh’s new work, with a specially commissioned score by Gabriel Prokofiev, ahead of its world premiere in November 2014, and a session exploring the choreographic possibilities of Shakespeare texts, in partnership with the London Shakespeare Centre.
Late at Rambert showcases the critically acclaimed work of Rambert’s associate company New Movement Collective and its recent music fellow, the composer Kate Whitley. The week concludes with “A day in the life of Rambert” where budding performers aged 16-19 can learn first-hand from company members about what it takes to be a professional dancer.
The programme also includes daily dance classes for adults from beginner to professional level, and guided tours of Rambert’s building, which won a 2014 RIBA National Award as one of the best new buildings of the year.
