Rambert Revealed

Rambert opens the doors of its South Bank home, 6 - 12 November 2017

Rambert Revealed is a week-long programme opening up the work of the company through public performances, tours and workshops for members of the public, dance professionals and students, at Rambert’s studios on London’s South Bank.

New additions to this year’s programme include a live drawing session of company rehearsals and a residency from ERRATICA, who will spend a month at Rambert developing a prototype for a new interactive dance film installation, titled For Amusement Purposes Only. Rambert dancer Simone Damberg Würtz also launches The Playground, a new networking platform for performers and creatives.

This year sees the return of Rambert Live, a livestream of a day in the life of the company, in addition to the many opportunities to come to the building to watch open rehearsals and learn choreography from dance pieces premiered by Rambert this year.

Booking for Rambert Revealed is open Monday 25 September, 12pm.
