Range of items on the website

As part of the Rambert at 90 Project, funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund (2016-2018), the Rambert Archive digitised more than 2,000 theatre programmes, cast sheets, publicity leaflets, press releases, and tour itineraries. Dating from June 1926 to March 1989, these materials relate to Rambert’s tours in the UK and abroad.

 

Browsing and searching the theatre programme collection

Using the browse options on the left menu box, you can navigate through the collection in two ways. Browse by Decade presents the programmes grouped by decade and then by year. Browse by Location groups the UK programmes by region and nation, and then by town. Programmes from the overseas tours are grouped by continent and then by country.

Using the search option, you can search for titles of dance works and names of choreographers and dancers as they are listed in the programme.
