choreographer Wayne McGregor

Despite his background in contemporary dance, he has been a resident choreographer at the Royal Ballet - the first from outside the company - for the past ten years. He has brought to Covent Garden a fascination with technology, a passion for collaborative efforts with visual artists and musicians, and he is renowned for drawing inspiration, particularly from the field of science.

Born in Stockport in 1970 to Scottish parents, he was inspired by the John Travolta films he watched and took ballroom, disco and Latin American dance classes. After studying choreography at the University of Leeds and spending a year at the José Limón dance school in New York, he returned to the UK and at the age of 22, founded his own company. He made his first professional piece in 1993, and choreographed Dame Judi Dench in Sondheim's A Little Night Music at the National Theatre in 1995. He received his first commission from the Royal Ballet in 2000 and it was his 2006 work Chroma that clinched him the job as resident choreographer.

He works on a wide range of projects away from the stage, including films, music videos, and opening and awards ceremonies, and continues to choreograph for his own company and others around the world including Paris Opera Ballet, San Francisco Ballet, La Scala Milan, New York City Ballet and the Australian Ballet. He has won numerous prizes for his work, including two Olivier Awards, and was appointed a CBE for Services to Dance in 2011.




尽管他有现代舞蹈的背景，但在过去的十年里，他一直是皇家芭蕾舞团的常驻编舞--这是第一个来自该公司以外的编舞。他为考文特花园带来了对技术的迷恋，对与视觉艺术家和音乐家合作的热情，他尤其以从科学领域汲取灵感而闻名。

他于1970年出生在斯托克波特，父母是苏格兰人，他从所看的约翰-特拉沃尔塔的电影中得到启发，并参加了交谊舞、迪斯科和拉丁美洲舞蹈课程。在利兹大学学习舞蹈编排，并在纽约的何塞-利蒙舞蹈学校学习了一年后，他回到了英国，在22岁时成立了自己的公司。他于1993年制作了他的第一个专业作品，并于1995年在国家剧院为朱迪-丹奇夫人编排了桑德海姆的《小夜曲》。2000年，他收到了皇家芭蕾舞团的第一个委托，2006年他的作品《Chroma》使他获得了常驻编舞的职位。

他在舞台之外从事广泛的项目，包括电影、音乐录像、开幕式和颁奖典礼，并继续为自己的公司和世界各地的其他公司编舞，包括巴黎歌剧院芭蕾舞团、旧金山芭蕾舞团、米兰斯卡拉舞团、纽约市芭蕾舞团和澳大利亚芭蕾舞团。他的作品获得了许多奖项，包括两个奥利弗奖，并在2011年因对舞蹈的贡献而被任命为CBE。
