Rambert's evening of new choreography
Stacey MacNaught |
Rambert's evening of new choreography, programmed at Sadler's Wells' Lilian Baylis Studio for 17 and 18 December will feature five brand new works created and performed by some of Rambert's world class dancers, accompanied by live music from the Rambert Orchestra. The evening of new choreography is one which allows audiences to glimpse the Rambert dancers in a choreographic capacity, demonstrating talent which is not usually evident on the stages of Rambert performances.
The evening will feature choreography by dancers Malgorzata Dzierzon, Dane Hurst, Estela Merlos, Mbulelo Ndabeni and Patricia Okenwa as ambassadors of Rambert following previously successful evenings, with the hope that they continue following the company's move to Rambert's new home on the South Bank. Five inspiring new works will be presented by these five up-and-coming choreographers: Rambert has a long-standing reputation for creating exciting new work of outstanding quality and for nurturing young choreographic talent, from Christopher Bruce to Rafael Bonachela.
The evening at the Sadler's Wells studio theatre follows Rambert's open house events in the wake of the company's move. Rambert will be hosting a series of events showcasing all that Rambert does from Monday 2 – Saturday 14 December. During this period the public are invited to tour the building, watch rehearsals for upcoming performances, observe Rambert’s world class dancers at work in their daily technique class and take part in classes. Workshops will also be on offer for people of all ages, for both experienced dancers and those who are completely new to dance.

The new building site was made available to Rambert by Coin Street Community Builders, one of the UK’s leading social enterprises, in return for a commitment to lead a significant community dance programme in the local area and for the rent of one pair of ballet shoes per year.
