Rambert Social: August

The best of Rambert this month, from our staff, artists and participants

Our dancers took a well deserved break this summer, to go on holiday, work on projects outside the company and even attend a wedding (or three!) – congratulations to Edit, Pierre and Lucy who all tied the knot this summer.

Here’s what the dancers got up to during their time off…

I LOVE Holidays! #mensfashion #fashion #stylist #dance #dancer #ballet #workout #fitness #timeoff #holiday #spain #inlaws #family #friends #love #boyfriend #laugh #friends #happy #tan #sun #sea #hot #icouldlivehere #beach #feelingblessed #relaxed #instagay #followme #followforfollow #summer #sun

But it hasn’t been all rest at Rambert…

We presented a rooftop performance with our choreography fellow Julie Cunningham, as well as our takeover weekend on the National Theatre’s River Stage.

Many of Rambert’s staff and artists contributed to this fantastic week: several of the dancers came back to deliver beautiful performances, working with music fellow Anna Appleby, Quicksilver artistic director Laura Harvey, assistant producer Grace Hopkins and animateur Katie Mason to name a few.

One of my favourite moments from the @rambertdance #riverstage weekend. This is a performance by our wonderful Mercury Movers, our older adults dance group. Absolute magic ✨💕

And then there were all of our summer courses!

Thanks so much @rambertdance for an absolutely awesome week! Thanks to @liamfrancisdance @lil_ballerina18 @hannah_l_rudd @ms_stackhouse #markkimmett and #pietersymonds for their excellent teaching, patience, good humour and support. I have loved every minute and I’m so sad it’s all over! After 13 straight days of dancing, I feel like I could carry on still. Am going to miss getting in the studio every day. #dancemarathon #rambert #summerschool #contemporaryintensive #contemporarydance #contemporarydancerforaweek #dance #repertoire #choreography #fun #lovinglife #pictureoftheday

Rambert dancers also gave up their time to perform at Gala for Grenfell, and what an honour that was.
