Wayne McGregor and a Brand New Work
Wayne McGregor and a Brand New Work.
Wayne McGregor is a choreographer and director whose future-focused, multi-award-winning works take inspiration from technology, literature and visual art.
As resident choreographer for the Royal Ballet since 2006, he has created a catalogue of daring and beautiful dance pieces, pushing the artform in radical new directions. For In The Studio, reporter Eliza Lomas goes backstage at the Royal Opera House, following Wayne as he creates a brand new work.
Called βuntitledβ, the piece developed in collaboration with someone he greatly admires - the late Cuban-American artist Carmen Herrera. This abstract, minimalist artist achieved fame late in life, and one of her final creations was the set design for 'untitled'. We hear how Wayne takes the dancers through their paces in an intense five-week period, as he readies them for the opening night.
