Wayne McGregor and his Random Dance - 'the technology of the dancing body'

I can't quite describe how I reacted when I first had the joy of seeing one of McGregor's choreographies a few years ago at the Opéra Garnier in Paris. Sensational! The way the dancers moved was so different to anything I had seen before. McGregor says he tries to create fluid movements to forget about the bones in the body.
The speed at which the dancers execute the moves is extraordinary.
His collaborations with architects and artists such as John Pawson for Chroma and Julian Opie for Infra are unforgettable.
There is so much more to say about the use of technology, the articulation of the bodies, the set design, the music ... you will just have to see for yourself.www.randomdance.org
If you don't know of him and have never seen any of his choreographies, rush, rush to buy a ticket for his new choreography called 'FAR', which will be performed at Sadler's Wells in London on 17th, 18th and 19th November. www.sadlerswells.com
Another choreography called 'L'Anatomie de la Sensation' will be performed at the Opéra Bastille in Paris from the 29th June to the 15th July 2011. www.operadeparis.fr
You could also have a sneak preview of his work by watching the documentary called 'La danse' by Ferderick Wiseman.
