What does it mean to write the story of your own life? For 25 years Wayne McGregor has created choreographies that ask questions about life through the experience of the body. Now the well-known British choreographer turns to the body as archive in order to create a series of choreographic portraits. For his first study, “Autobiography,” McGregor had his own DNA decoded, then created a dynamic dance mosaic accompanied by the sounds of the electro-musician Jlin: an abstract mediation for ten dancers on aspects of the self, life and writing algorithmically assembled in a unique order for every performance.
