Rambert Live

Rambert Live was a day-in-the-life of Britain’s national dance company, streamed live from a studio in our London home on Tuesday 18 October 2016. The day included company class, rehearsing new and classic works, the latest in our series of Rambert debates, and a presentation of small scale works and works-in-progress.
