Paul, who interprets the music for all appropriate works, says, "The signing of a dance performance for Rambert is - to the best of our knowledge - the first time a major modern dance company has included such an element. I think there are several challenges in signing a dance performance. You have to try and describe the mood and shape of the music."

Please check with each venue for recommended seating areas.

Information for visitors to Rambert's headquarters in Chiswick: Rambert is currently housed in two converted houses in Chiswick. Level access is only available to our ground floor studio and WC. Access to studios and offices on upper storeys are via stairs that are narrow and uneven. Key to the design of our new home is the accessibility to all parts of the building - studios, changing rooms, offices - to all users, whether visitors or members of staff.
