“If any artist has defined the decade, it’s Wayne McGregor.” (The Times, London) Random Dance was founded in 1992 and became the instrument upon which McGregor evolved his drastically fast and articulate choreographic style. The company became a byword for its radical approach to new technology, incorporating animation, digital film, 3-D architecture, electronic sound, and virtual dancers into the live choreography. McGregor, an award-winning British dancemaker who serves as resident choreographer of The Royal Ballet, Covent Garden, is renowned for his physically taxing movement style and ground-breaking collaborations across dance, film, music, visual art, and science. Specifically, he researches the relationship between dance and the mind as artist-in-residence at the Department of Experimental Psychology at the University of Cambridge. Wayne McGregor is “doing some of the most exciting work in ballet on the planet.” (The New York Times)
