What’s on

On Tour 6 – 8 Oct 2021

Draw from Within – on Stage Tour 2021

Rambert x Wim Vandekeybus

Take an exhilarating leap into the unknown.

Draw from Within began life in 2020 as a live digital broadcast and was an instant hit. Now reworked to be performed in a theatre with a face-to-face audience , Rambert’s brilliant dancers rip and roll through contrasting, vivid theatrical worlds. Some dream worlds, some full-on nightmares, some sweet and funny.

Wim Vandekeybus and Rambert have created an exhilarating reflection on a time when we’re desperate for old-fashioned physical interaction, and find ourselves.

And my, is its new piece brilliantly danced: those 19 Rambertians perform like racehorses elated at having at long last been let out of the traps.

Wim Vandekeybus is a choreographer, dancer, filmmaker and photographer. He founded his dance company Ultima Vez in the mid-eighties. He made a remarkable artistic debut with his first performance What the body does not remember (1986).

The performance won a Bessie, an award granted for groundbreaking work. His second performance Les porteuses de mauvaises nouvelles (1989) was also honoured with this award. In his unique style, Vandekeybus has created milestones in the development of modern dance with his performances over the last few decades, at home and abroad.
