Goldfish
In this short film Goldfish (featuring Rambert Dancer Aishwarya Raut), Director and Choreographer Charlotte Edmonds explores mental deterioration from sensory overload, all from the claustrophobic confines of a station waiting room.
Influenced by research from Crawford Winlove (Neuroscientist at University of Exeter), the film examines the metaphoric value, or lack thereof, of having the “attention span of a goldfish” by creating a physical and artistic response to the question of deteriorating mindfulness. It’s a testament for mental and emotional grounding in moments of sensory overload and how to mute the overwhelming noise.
“As the noise around her builds the dancer’s facade falters and her internal struggles are revealed; the undulating curves and ripples, and electric currents running through the body forces us to see her in her rawest form.”
– Director and Choreographer Charlotte Edmonds
Edmonds evolved the film’s choreography from live performance, Generation Goldfish, premiered with the Bayerisches Staatsballett in Munich – who supported the film’s creation along with Arts Council England.

Rambert2 on tour
HOME: Micaela Taylor
(World Premiere)
Micaela Taylor is one to watch for 2021. Her undeniable brilliance is hard to categorise and always evolving. It’s been incredible to have such a visionary in the studio working with Rambert2’s daring new talent. In her new piece, Home, especially for this ensemble we see influences of hip hop, classical ballet and Gaga, and the result is a totally fresh feel.
KILLER PIG: Sharon Eyal
In February 2020, 650 early career dancers attended open auditions to join the Rambert2 ensemble. 11 were chosen for their outstanding ability and individuality. This is their on-stage debut as a company, unleashing their creative forces with Sharon Eyal’s pulsating and uncompromisingly physical Killer Pig.
To help us continue supporting and developing young talent, and giving our dancers the tools they need to develop their professional careers, you can make a donation. Any contribution you can give is much appreciated and goes directly to supporting these brilliant and daring artists.
