In the latest issue of AnOther Magazine, British choreographer Wayne McGregor reveals why Abba’s songs are part of his “dance DNA”
“I grew up in Stockport in the 1970s, learning ballroom and Latin American dances to Abba. Their songs are part of my dance DNA – the lyrics, the narratives, the emotions, the way they sit within you musically – and while making [this year’s virtual concert residency], I realised how much they were part of my bodily memory. It’s the biggest motion-capture live-avatar project to date and is based on real performances.
Whether channelling an automaton’s stimulated movements or choreographing emotive interactions between dancers and a robot , the endlessly innovative British choreographerhas long embraced technology as both an inspiration and a tool for expanding the possibilities of physical performance.
