Kaatsbaan Annual Festival: Company Wayne McGregor: Autobiography V101

Throughout his career, Sir Wayne McGregor has created choreography that explores the relationship between the human body and technology. "Autobiography" merges genetic code, AI, and choreography to create a unique dance that reinvents itself for every performance. Layering choreographic imprints over personal memoir and in dialogue with a specially designed algorithm based on McGregor’s DNA data, "Autobiography" upends the traditional nature of dance-making as artificial intelligence and instinct converge in creative authorship. "Autobiography" is performed by a cast of 10 dancers and is set to an original score by Jlin.

Wayne McGregor CBE is a multi-award-winning British choreographer and director internationally renowned for trailblazing innovations in performance that have radically redefined dance in the modern era. McGregor’s multi-dimensional works resulting from interactions with an array of artistic forms, scientific disciplines, and technological interventions have ensured his position at the cutting edge of contemporary arts for almost three decades. He is the Artistic Director of Studio Wayne McGregor, encompassing creative collaboration in dance, film, music, visual art, technology, and science, as well as learning and research programs; and the touring company of dancers called Company Wayne McGregor. McGregor is also Resident Choreographer at The Royal Ballet, Director of Dance for the Venice Biennale, and is regularly commissioned by and has works in the repertories of the most important dance companies around the world.
