Wayne McGregor is a British choreographer, born in 1970. He is well known for his collaborations with visual art, technology and sciences. He is the artistic director of Wayne McGregor Random Dance and created works for many companies. He is currently one of the most well known British choreographers of this era and he has over 20 professional works under his belt.

I chose to look at Wayne McGregor for inspiration because his movements are very unique to what you usually see in the dance industry, his dancers move in a sharp and controlled way, but at the same time detailing and utilising their whole bodies. As you can see in FAR, the movement style and dynamic is very quick and fluid, but with a sense of urgency and attack. Researching into McGregor though had me find that he works differently each time he choreographs, he always holds his own unique style but none of his pieces look the same. Something I like about his choreographic style is how interesting his choreography is, the material has so much depth that it draws you in and makes you want to keep watching.
