Welcome to the Rambert Studio.
Artistic Director Benoit Swan Pouffer encourages our dancers to showcase their individuality and unique expression.
This class with members of Rambert and Rambert2 took place on 17 March 2020, the last day the dancers came into the Rambert studios before the COVID-19 lockdown period began.
We think Musa sums himself up perfectly – “Musa Motha doesn’t believe in impossibilities. Instead, I break the word impossible into two. I am possible.”
When it comes to the world of Peaky Blinders, the music is everything.

Featuring artists and creatives from across the fashion world, we love its forceful and united statement, unravelling the idea of national identity as a romantic construct. It was originally released in the wake of President Donald J. Trump’s executive order restricting immigration from seven, predominantly Muslim countries; an order which has now been revoked by President Joe Biden.

And while we can’t give too much away, our Illusions Director Filipe J. Carvalho lifts the curtain slightly to talk about his role in Peaky Blinders: The Redemption of Thomas Shelby.
Two super humans: actress Thandiwe Newton and Rambert Dancer Kym Sojourna, share personal experiences of being Black women in Hollywood and the dance industry respectively.
We feel Thandiwe doesn’t need much of an introduction…like us, you’ll probably recognise Thandiwe from her starring roles in films such as Beloved, Mission Impossible Two, and Crash, for which she received a BAFTA award for Best Actress in a Supporting Role. Since 2016, Thandiwe has played the role of a sentient android in HBO’s sci-fi western series Westworld, which has recently earned her an Emmy nomination and in 2017 she hit UK screens playing the role of DCI Roz Huntley in the BBC drama series Line of Duty.
A source of inspiration, Thandiwe has recently opened up about her experiences of racism and sexism in the entertainment industry, and her journey of finding a sense of self and self-acceptance. These are really important and powerful conversations to be had, and I can’t wait to discuss with Thandiwe what she draws from – when faced with such adversity – how she remains motivated and optimistic that it is possible to show up and move the world forward.
We know that some of you will listen to these podcasts in the presence of younger family members – we love that – just watch out for some adult language in this one.
