Rambert seeks dancers for music/dance collaboration

Posted on June 3, 2014

Rambert is launching an intensive course inspired by its Event performances, giving dancers the opportunity to work with the company’s music fellow Kate Whitley and former Rambert dancer Stefano Rosato.

Up to 15 young dancers will work on the principles of Cunningham technique, and will collaborate with musicians on new work to be performed at Rambert’s studios.

The course is open to dancers aged 18 and over who are in the third year of vocational dance training or have graduated. To apply, see the IdeasTap website. The deadline for applications is June 12.
