Wayne McGregor to Give Rare Post-Show Q&A at Laban Theatre
We're excited to announce that Wayne McGregor CBE will be giving
a rare post-show audience Q&A at Laban Theatre on March
9. In 2010 The Times said of the man behind the
groundbreaking company Wayne McGregor | Random Dance: 'If any
artist has defined the decade - it's Wayne McGregor'. The New
York Times describes him as 'one of the most celebrated and
sought-after choreographers of his generation'.
Laban Theatre is delighted to welcome back the renowned company
for three performances of its latest feast for the senses,
FAR. This is a great chance to catch the work of one of
today's most in-demand choreographers in an intimate setting.
Wayne McGregor's dynamic style and ground-breaking collaborative
approach across dance, film, music, visual art, technology and
science has seen him create a string of truly unique,
interdisciplinary work over the years. His latest work FAR is no
exception.
Inspired by the controversial Age of Enlightenment, FAR mines an
era that first placed 'a body in question'. Danced by an ensemble
of ten incredible performers and the finest exponents of McGregor's
singular style, FAR is set to a new, haunting score by electronic
superstar Ben Frost.
A prolific dance maker, and the first Resident Choreographer of
The Royal Ballet to come from contemporary dance, in the past year
alone McGregor has delivered world premieres for New York City
Ballet, Stuttgart Ballet and The Royal Opera. He has choreographed
movies (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire) and created headlining
sets for Glastonbury. In January 2011, McGregor was awarded a CBE
(Commander of the Order of the British Empire) in the New Year
Honours List. In 2013, he makes his debut with Bolshoi Ballet, with
a new Rite Of Spring.
