From The Independent:
McGregor's company's latest dance work, Far, which opens at Sadler's Wells tonight, is an unlikely assemblage of souls.
With Far, the Stockport-born choreographer has taken his insatiable curiosity about the "technology of the dancing body" one step further, overseeing a sophisticated interdisciplinary collaboration that could have significant implications not only for his choreography, but for certain aspects of cognitive science itself.
"We've always done ourselves a big disservice in dance by saying that it isn't an intellectual art form, but one of instinct," he tells me. "Of course, instinct plays into the way we generate and perform choreography, but I've always been fascinated by what's going on with the physical thinking; not only when performing, but in actually creating movement. What are the models by which imagination is constrained? What is this relationship between the brain and the body? And what would happen if you corrupted the messages from the brain to the body, to try and make somebody dis-coordinated, un-coordinated; the antithesis of what you usually do with choreography, which is all body-perfect, body-beautiful?"
