Rambert2 Double Bill
HOME – Micaela Taylor
KILLER PIG – Sharon Eyal
In February 2020, 650 early career dancers attended open auditions to join the Rambert2 ensemble. Eleven were chosen for their outstanding ability and individuality. This is their on-stage debut as a company, unleashing their creative forces with Sharon Eyal’s pulsating and uncompromisingly physical Killer Pig.
Micaela Taylor is one to watch for 2021. Her undeniable brilliance is hard to categorise and always evolving. It’s been incredible to have such a visionary in the studio working with Rambert2’s daring new talent. In her new piece, Home, especially for this ensemble, we see influences of hip hop, classical ballet and Gaga, and the result is a totally fresh feel.

She received the Inaugural Springboard EMERGE Choreographic Award, was named in Dance Magazine’s “25 to Watch” in 2019, and graced the cover of Dance Magazine in April 2020.
