Rambert2 Premier

What To Expect?

Rambert is one of the world’s most diverse company of dancers. We love transforming everyday spaces with awe-inspiring, adventurous, dynamic dance and while we can’t take this to audiences around the UK and worldwide right now, we’re happy we can share it online.

For the very first time, Rambert invites you behind the scenes of an original Rambert2 creation Grey Matter by Benoit Swan Pouffer, which will be streamed online.

Its permanent core ensemble of artists is complemented by Rambert2, a second company made up of some of the most gifted early career dancers from around the world who come together for a year to push themselves, explore their individual creativity and develop their potential as professional dancers under the nurturing guidance of Rambert’s creative team.

Grey Matter, the mass of neuronal cells that makes up around 40% of our brains, controls memory, speech and muscle activation. It allows us to move and think at the same time.

The brain is the part of the human body that takes longest to mature. Imaging studies have shown that grey matter continues to develop and grow until we reach our early twenties – the age of the dancers in this piece. After our mid-twenties, the brain begins to decline.

“This is a very personal piece for me, about a person who loses sight of their memories, and about the community that grows around that person, giving them help and support, allowing them to live in the present.” – Benoit Swan Pouffer

A one-of-a-kind opportunity to discover this company of fierce young dancers, and get an insight into their life as they progress from the rehearsal studio to stages around the country in what is certainly the most exciting step into their future careers
