Kairos by Wayne McGregor

PLEASE NOTE: Strobe lighting is used in the opening section of this ballet. About Wayne McGregor Born in 1970, Wayne McGregor CBE is a multi-award-winning British choreographer and director, internationally renowned for trailblazing innovations in performance that have radically redefined dance in the modern era. Driven by an insatiable curiosity about movement and its creative potentials, his experiments have led him into collaborative dialogue with an array of artistic forms, scientific disciplines, and technological interventions. The startling and multi-dimensional works resulting from these interactions have ensured McGregor’s position at the cutting edge of contemporary arts for over two decades. Since 2006 McGregor has been Resident Choreographer at The Royal Ballet, the first choreographer from a contemporary dance background to be invited into the role. McGregor is regularly commissioned to make new work by the most important ballet companies in the world. His work has also been re-staged and performed by more than two dozen companies including Paris Opera Ballet, New York City Ballet, Bolshoi Ballet, Royal Danish Ballet and San Francisco Ballet. He is in demand as a choreographer for theatre, opera, film, music videos, fashion shows, and television. His ballet Chroma was first performed by the Ailey company in 2013. The Company premiere of Kairos is supported by commissioning funds from New York City Center. Leadership support for the creation of Kairos is provided by Simin N. Allison and The Pamela D. Zilly and John H. Schaefer New Works Endowment Fund. #AlvinAiley #Dance
