entity

Wayne McGregor's latest work, Entity, explores the connection between the brain and movement.

Check out McGregor's "Random Dance" website.

Entity is the latest in a series of choreographic inquiries into the relationship between the brain and the moving body - a project which has led McGregor to work with psychologists, neuroscientists and software engineers. The piece is born of his preoccupation with the idea of 'an artificially intelligent choreographic entity' - a piece of software which can 'think' for itself and help generate movement. The relationship between this research and the performance on stage is an abstract one, but the production is studded with visual markers which define the territory.
