Wayne McGregor is well known for his physically testing choreography and ground-breaking collaborations across dance, film, music, visual art, technology and science. Featuring video, photography, multimedia installation, commissioned film and artworks, 'Thinking with the Body' is an immersive encounter developed in the run-up to the first performances of his company’s new work ‘Atomos’ at Sadler’s Wells Theatre, London.
In 2000, Wayne McGregor l Random Dance embarked on collaborations with artists and researchers from other fields including cognitive and social science, seeking new understanding of choreographic practice and thinking. Their initial projects focused on developing software to support the creative process in the rehearsal studio and studying the relationship between mind and movement.
