Vintage Rambert behind the scenes documentary
'I had the brilliant opportunity to work and gain knowledge about dance, history and the creative process. The project pushed and challenged me in new ways of creating as part of a large collaboration and was a truly fantastic experience.' Erin O'Toole, Dancer
Vintage Rambert was a free cross-arts performance project inspired by the public and private life of Company founder Marie Rambert: a dance pioneer, entrepreneur, revolutionary and celebrity.
In August 2013 young creatives aged 16 - 25 created Second from the left, an original dance work at Canada Water Culture Space under the guidance of Rambert mentors.
‘The studio was highly charged knowing we had to create a promenade performance in six days incorporating dance, text, original music, archive material, film and costume. Everybody rose to the challenge with the quality of the work far exceeding my expectations.' Project Director and Choreographer: Deborah Galloway
