Rambert is Britain's leading contemporary dance company. Rambert tours extensively to theatres in the UK, as well as creating site-specific works and performing internationally. Established in 1926 by Marie Rambert, we build on our heritage by producing more new works than any other British contemporary dance company. The company is led by Chief Executive and Executive Producer Helen Shute and Artistic Director Mark Baldwin. We have a permanent company of 22 world-class dancers, and perform with our own orchestra. In our new creations, as with our historic repertoire, the inter-relationship between choreography, music and design is central, and we frequently collaborate with leading composers and visual artists. We promote the artistic development of our dancers, and support their work as emerging choreographers. Rambert moved to a new, purpose-built, award-wining home in London's South Bank in November 2013, following a multi-million pound fundraising campaign. In 2016, Rambert celebrated 90 years of cutting edge dance with a nationwide programme of public engagement. We believe that people throughout the country should have the opportunity to engage with dance work of the highest quality, through watching performances, taking part in activities, and interacting online. We aim to bring diverse, contemporary work to audiences and young people, and through this to broaden interest in all types of dance activity. We attract an average of over 2,500 audience members to each venue we visit, and reach over 20,000 people each year through our national programme of activities to encourage learning and participation.
