Calling all over-thinkers. Or perhaps you’ve suffered imposter syndrome…
In honour of International Day of Women & Girls in Science, 11 Feburary, this episode of our Super Humans podcast features soon-to-be Doctor of Neuroscience Julia Ravey in conversation with Rambert dancer Aishwarya Raut as they take a fascinating dive into how our brains work.
Julia is a neuroscience PhD researcher studying Alzheimer’s disease with a passion for making science understandable. Alongside from her vlogging and blogging, Julia has worked as television presenting, most recently for BBC Bitesize, and is a writer for a worldwide learning community, Kwik Learning.

We love Australian band The Avalanches and during lockdown, we collaborated with them and The Experience Machine (TEM Studios) on this video for their new album We Will Always Love.
Reflecting Light was filmed at the Rambert studios in London, is choreographed by our Artistic Director Benoit Swan Pouffer, and features our dancers.
TEM Studios filmed our dancers using 4 volumetric time-of-flight cameras that capture extreme three-dimensional detail. The cameras were exposed with a thousandth-of-a-second delay from each other 30 times a second. If you’re not a camera technician this may make no sense – so we recommend just giving it a watch and taking a look at the results.
Be sure to listen to The Avalanches’ new album ‘We Will Always Love You’ which ‘Reflecting Light’ is part of.

Aisha & Abhaya was an ambitious new Rambert creation with director Kibwe Tavares. This was a fantistical journey into other worlds with live performance fused with film and animation performed to packed houses at the Royal Opera House’s Linbury Studio. Here are its origins in the studio.
We loved working with Kibwe and you can listen to him in conversation with Artistic Director Benoit Swan Pouffer and watch more of his film work here.

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.”

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J. Trump’s executive order restricting immigration from seven, predominantly Muslim countries; an order which has now been revoked by President Joe Biden.

What do you get when you challenge a company of international dancers to guess the meanings behind some Brummie phrases? A whole lot of clarting about we’d say.
