Commissioning Companies: Random Dance

Resident company at Sadler's Wells, Random Dance has become a creative frontrunner on the British and international dance scene, renowned the world over for its extraordinary innovations in dance.

Working in collaboration with Artistic Director Wayne McGregor and Lighting Designer Lucy Carter, the three Linibury finalists will produce designs for Origin, a new professional full-length dance work for young people that will build on the success of previous shows for children by McGregor. The work will focus on giving young people the opportunity to engage with high quality, multi-disciplinary, non-literal dance for which Random has gained an international reputation, and as a result will enable young people to access curricular subjects through the creativity of dance.

Wayne McGregor, Artistic Director, Random Dance said: "Design is very much an integral part of the conception process and indeed I approach design from a choreographic perspective. It's essential to the development of new work, especially in the invention of fresh languages for the stage. We are delighted to be participating in the Linbury Biennial for these reasons".
