Creative Learning
Workshops and Residencies
Wayne McGregor | Random Danceâs education work explores the creative potential of choreographic tasks which reflect and expose the processes of Wayne McGregor and his dancers during the creation of the companyâs full length touring works. These tasks may involve spatial and numerical concepts or technologies used in the current touring work and can involve innovative methods such as remote location delivery.
