WELCOME TO RAMBERT
Welcome to our January - July 2020 events programme for Rambert supporters,
designed to get you closer to our work, dancers and creative teams.

with The Royal Ballet, Aisha and Abhaya at the Linbury Theatre which goes on to
tour internationally throughout the year; the recreation of Enter Achilles by Lloyd
Newson (DV8 Theatre) which comes to Sadler’s Wells in May; the main company
continue to tour our Wayne McGregor/ Marion Motin/ Hofesh Shechter triple bill

We hope that you can join us at your local theatre soon, where alongside
performances we are offering supporters access to company class at a number
of venues on tour. Don’t forget that as well as our touring programme, we have
a range of activities and events taking place at our South Bank studios, from
