Through fully embodied improvisation, we’ll investigate timing, tension, drive and vulnerability, allowing imagination to guide us into unexpected physical worlds.The session is open to everyone, including dancers, actors and anyone curious about creature-based movement and physical storytelling.We can’t wait to welcome Neus back into the studio and discover where this imaginative exploration takes us.Image credits | Lola Garcia @lolagarciaphotography Courtesy of productions from The Mummy and Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom |#ThePlayground #ContemporaryDance #PhysicalTheatre #Creature #DanceCommunity by @theplayground_rambert

✨ CHOREOGRAPHER ANNOUNCEMENT ✨We’re delighted to welcome Narina Bira @narina.lorena to The Playground 🤍📅 Friday 17th July 2026 🕕 18:00–21:00@rambertdance HQNarina is a Romanian dance artist whose work celebrates the beauty of connection, harmony and our shared human experience. Rooted in ballet, Humphrey, Graham and release techniques, her creative practice is deeply influenced by improvisation, musicality and moving from within.In this session, Narina will be sharing material from her new work, Healing Chant, currently in development. Together we’ll explore themes of connection, ancestral wisdom and the sharing of energy through movement.Drawing inspiration from the Romanian folk dance Hora, alongside influences from ballet and contemporary dance, the session will be full of joyful group movement, circles, skipping, jumping and repeated patterns that invite us to move together as one.The class is open to everyone. The movement isn’t highly technical, but it will be very energetic, so come ready to move, connect and have fun!🎶 We’re thrilled that bobby demers @audiophiliacuk will be joining the session as a live musician and collaborator. Originally from Toronto, bobby is an e-drummer and multi-instrumentalist who has been creating music for dancers since he was just 16 years old. He regularly accompanies classes at Trinity Laban and The Place and has been a much-loved part of The Playground for the past five years, bringing decades of musical experience, creativity and infectious energy into the studio.Image credits | Gabija Grisiute @gabijagphoto | Serena Mary @studioserenaphotography| Ashleigh Stohr | Henry Curtis @shotbyhenrycurtis |#ThePlayground #ContemporaryDance #LiveMusic #DanceCommunity #Movement by @theplayground_rambert

✨ CHOREOGRAPHER ANNOUNCEMENT ✨We’re so excited to welcome Choreographer Jessie Cotgrove @jessie_cotgrove back to The Playground! 🤍📅 Friday 17th July 2026 🕕 18:00–21:00@rambertdance HQ Jessie will be leading an emotionally driven movement exploration centred around unity, release and transformation.“Together we’ll explore what it means to be part of something greater than ourselves, and what happens when consciousness, colour and sense begin to break free after life. Through guided improvisation and physical exploration, we’ll investigate connection, holding on, and letting go, using the ballet barre as both a physical and creative stimulus before developing the material into a final sharing.”This is a session for anyone who loves diving into ideas, emotion and storytelling through movement.✨ We can’t wait to have Jessie back in the studio and to see where this beautiful exploration takes us.📸 Photographers & videographers: If you’d like to capture Jessie’s rehearsal or final sharing, please get in touch with Jessie directly via Instagram @jessie_cotgrove.#ThePlayground #ContemporaryDance #Movement #DanceCommunity #Choreography by @theplayground_rambert
