Rambert unveils centenary year plans

Rambert has announced its centenary programme for 2026 with This Is Rambert, a triple bill of new contemporary works set to tour the UK and internationally next summer.

The programme includes Hop(e)storm by (LA)HORDE, Gallery of Consequence by Emma Evelein, and a new work to be announced at a later date. The pieces have been selected by artistic director Benoit Swan Pouffer to reflect the company’s focus on contemporary voices and future-facing creativity.

Performances will take place in London, Newcastle, Edinburgh, Salford and Norwich between June and July 2026.

Tickets are on sale now for most venues, with sales for Sadler’s Wells in London opening on 17 November, Edinburgh’s Festival Theatre on 26 November and Norwich Theatre on 28 November.

Speaking about the announcement, Pouffer said: “Rambert has never felt more alive. A hundred years in, and we’re still led by curiosity and by artists who see the world differently. The choreographers in This Is Rambert each bring a pulse that belongs to right now, and our dancers respond with everything they are.”

The centenary year will also include a series of Future 100 events in London, Manchester and Edinburgh, as it plots its way into the future.
