Studio Wayne McGregor

Studio Wayne McGregor is internationally recognised for redefining how dance is taught, experienced and understood, creating transformative opportunities for people to connect with movement, creativity and contemporary performance. 

Our programmes invite participants inside the creative world of Sir Wayne McGregor CBE, drawing directly on the professional artistic processes used by McGregor and his company in the rehearsal room. Designed to be both accessible and ambitious, each experience offers participants the opportunity to engage with cutting-edge dance practice, develop creative confidence and encounter the highest standards of contemporary performance-making. 

With a reach of more than 100,000 participants across the UK and internationally, our engagement work brings high-quality creative experiences to people of all ages and backgrounds. Led by Associate Director Odette Hughes, each programme is shaped around the needs, ambitions and lived experiences of the communities we work with. From schools and universities to vocational institutions, we create imaginative, tailored learning opportunities that inspire confidence, curiosity and creative growth. 

At the heart of every learning and engagement programme is Studio Wayne McGregor’s pioneering research into physical intelligence, movement, and creative, areas that have shaped McGregor’s practice for more than two decades. This research informs distinctive teaching approaches, including the development of choreographic methodology and pedagogy Mind and Movement, that helps participants build greater awareness and control of their natural movement skills, unlock new creative possibilities, and develop a choreographic voice of their own.  

Our learning and engagement portfolio is rooted in long-term local impact, creating meaningful opportunities for young people and communities in the boroughs around us. In 2026, we were selected as the preferred education partner for the neighbouring V&A Storehouse, working in collaboration with the V&A to deliver inspiring engagement programmes for schools in the borough, with a particular focus on widening cultural access for lower socio-economic income communities.
