2Human - 2003

Wayne McGregor's first work for English National Ballet, 2 Human is a vibrant and exciting duet that illustrates McGregor's unique choreographic language. 'I have always had a fascination with illustrated descriptions of the human body', said McGregor. 'From Andreas Vesalius' black and white anatomical drawings in the 1540s to very contemporary 3-dimensional, digital representations of a complete male and female adult, amazingly generated for 'The Visible Human Project'. This duet is inspired by these extraordinary resources of knowledge and presents a way of redrawing this archive of information physically'.
