There is a lack of opportunities for emerging choreographers to focus on creating new work. Where opportunities do exist there is often a financial barrier faced by aspiring choreographers due to the need for unpaid time off work, the cost of space hire and the cost, availability and quality of dancers. Also, there are few chances to develop the skills necessary to create work for large stages. There is also a lack of feedback by industry experts to support and mentor burgeoning choreographers.

Rambert will support the artistic growth of emerging choreographers by providing the use of our facilities, dancers and support network with no cost to the young choreographers. Rambert has a proven track record of developing choreographic talent in-house and will expand this by inviting young choreographers from outside the company too. Feedback from aspiring choreographers has highlighted the importance of mentoring and so several sessions to support their work will be provided throughout the year.
