A dizzying mix of bodies, lighting, technology and film

Wayne McGregor's award-winning Entity has thrilled audiences at sell-out shows around the world. Performed against a pounding soundscape by composer Jon Hopkins and Joby Talbot, Entity is a staggering blend of bodies, lights, technology and film. Technically astonishing, emotionally uncompromising and hard-hitting, McGregor’s work defies categorisation. Wayne McGregor is one of the most inventive choreographers of his generation. He is mainly known for his groundbreaking cross-connections between dance, film, (live) music, art, technology and science. Typical of his work is the remarkable raw power and emotion of his classically trained, hyperkinetic dancers. Equally remarkable are the exceptional visual and auditory effects in his performances.
