Wayne McGregor
In 2006, Wayne McGregor's Chroma rocked Covent Garden on its heels. It was as if he'd sped ballet up and stretched it like Silly Putty - then thrown The White Stripes' garage rock at it. Three years later, he made Dyad 1929 on our dancers. His fast-forward style was given extra oomph by Steve Reich's driving Double Sextet and the black-on-white pop of the set. A decade on, after working with Radiohead, the Chemical Brothers and Gareth Pugh, McGregor is still at the forefront of dance innovation, and these early works come out of the starting gates just as hard.
