Multi award-winning Wayne McGregor is one of the world's most inventive choreographers, renowned for his physically testing choreography and ground-breaking collaborations across dance, film, music, visual art, technology and science. During the past 18 months alone he has created work for Glastonbury Festival , Paris Opera Ballet and The Royal Ballet . He has directed an opera at La Scala, Milan and was appointed to the prestigious position of Resident Choreographer of The Royal Ballet, the first in 16 years and the only one ever to come from the world of contemporary dance.

At 22 McGregor founded his own company, Random Dance, which was invited to be the first resident company at the new Sadler's Wells in 2001. His career to date has taken him beyond the conventional stage, choreographing for films - Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire – and creating site specific installations for Southbank Centre's The Hayward , The Saatchi Gallery , the Houses of Parliament and for the Pompidou Centre in Paris.

Collaborators range from composer Sir John Tavener to neuroscientists and cognitive scientists currently driving the Entity research programme.
