Scope and Content

Series contains records relating to Rambert performances; video recordings of performances and touring files.

Video recordings are of Rambert performances and rehearsals. Video recordings are arranged by production, in chronological order.

Touring files are contracts and correspondence concerning performances by Rambert. Touring files are subdivided into venues in the United Kingdom (arranged by venue) and foreign venues (arranged by country and city).

Arrangement

The Rambert archive remained largely un-catalogued until 2012/13. The current catalogue structure was drafted by cataloguing archivist Eilís McCarthy based on the archive location guide, a survey of the collection and research into the Company history. Senior members of staff were also consulted and the final catalogue structure was approved by Rambert Chief Executive Nadia Stern and Company Archivist Arike Oke.

The catalogue is based on a functional structure of Rambert. Series roughly correspond with departments creating and collecting the records. The structure is as follows;
