In a major collaboration with (LA)HORDE, Rambert dancers take on the French company’s work at London’s Southbank Centre for Bring Your Own. Gritty, sensual, and fiercely real, the explosive programme presents (LA)HORDE’s choreography in three parts – channeling the energy and spirit of Lindy Hop through today’s lens for Hop(e)storm, exploring intimacy, consent and sex-positivity under the neon lights of the LA club scene for Weather is Sweet, and taking a visceral look inwards at what we stand for in A Room With a View. Bring Your Own is the first chapter of a dynamic collaboration between Rambert and (LA)HORDE, premiering ahead of performances at The Lowry in Salford and Truro’s Hall for Cornwall. 7 - 10 May 2025.

David Hockney, one of the most influential artists of the 20th and 21st centuries, has taken over the entire building of the Fondation Louis Vuitton for an exhibition that is exceptional in its scale and originality. David Hockey 25 brings together more than 400 of his works (from 1955 to 2025), including paintings from international, institutional, and private collections, as well as works from the artist’s own studio and Foundation. The exhibition shows how the artist has continually renewed both his subjects and his mode of expression, reinventing his art with the use of new media to become a champion of new technologies. Until 31 August.
