UNDANCE is an extraordinary collaboration between three artists at the forefront of British culture - composer Mark-Anthony Turnage, choreographer Wayne McGregor and artist Mark Wallinger. With a visual world created by Turner Prize-winning Wallinger, UNDANCE will be performed by the 10 dancers of Wayne McGregor | Random Dance and set to Turnage’s original score. Inspiration comes from American sculptor Richard Serra’s Compilation of Verbs and the work of photographer Eadweard J. Muybridge.

The evening also features a new staging of Turnage’s emotional chamber opera Twice Through The Heart. McGregor will direct Sarah Connolly in the role of a woman jailed for killing her abusive husband. Connolly will be immersed in a 3D projected backdrop.

Both works feature a live orchestra conducted by Tim Murray.
