Throughout his career, Sir Wayne McGregor has created choreography that explores the relationship between the human body and technology. Autobiography merges genetic code, AI, and choreography to create a unique dance that reinvents itself for every performance. Layering choreographic imprints over personal memoir and in dialogue with a specially designed algorithm based on McGregor’s DNA data, Autobiography upends the traditional nature of dance-making as artificial intelligence and instinct converge in creative authorship. Autobiography is performed by a cast of 10 dancers and is set to an original score by Jlin. 

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.
