Rambert, Draw from Within, Sadler's Wells

Draw from Within was an ambitious Rambert commission from Belgian avant-garde choreographer Wim Vandekeybus, streamed live in real time last September during lockdown. It proved one of the most exciting lockdown premieres, with its fllmic exploration of dreams and nightmares.

Now that the lockdown nightmare itself appears slowly to be fading away, we hope to be waking up to a new day, one that will bring dance audiences and dancers to the theatres both have so grievously missed,

So, let's welcome Rambert's wonderful dancers to Sadler's Wells! Britain's oldest dance company is also one of its most daring, never afraid to experiment, particularly now that its director Benoit Swan Pouffer is moving it into new territory.

Rambert will bring us the stage adaptation of its hugely successful Draw from Within, which used all the available resources of film to create a feast for the eyes and provide abundant food for thought.

Translating a kaleidoscopic, fast-moving performance, that on film segues effortlessly between sets, to live onstage performance is definitely a major challenge; one that, for sure, Rambert will be equal to.

We can't recommend it highly enough; for more information and an assessment of the streamed version, have a look at Culture Whisper's four-star review

Like all performances opening post-lockdown, Rambert's Draw from Within will be danced to socially distanced audiences, which means there will be fewer seats available. Early booking is, therefore, recommended.
