Qualia - 2004

The Guardian, December 4 2003

"...Qualia sets 19 dancers on a dazzle of invention and self-discovery... there is a genuine seam of strangeness in the work and, with the help of an eerily atmospheric score be Scanner, McGregor seems to put his dancers in touch with a future the rest of us haven't really glimpsed."

The Independent on Sunday, December 7 2003

"The combined technical challenge of spine-snapping speed, off-centre balance and kooky detail is clearly relished by every dancer. This is hot, it's on the edge, and it's just what the Royal should be doing."

The Sunday Times Culture, December 2003

"...imagine a ballerina rehearsing in a funfair hall of mirrors and, while trying to correct for what her eyes are telling her, learning to improvise and luxuriate in the constantly shifting tensions between her image and her sense of self. This is classical technique warped as an act of love."
