Dates
Taking creative points of departure from film, music and biometric data, Wayne McGregor’s choreography for Atomos is woven into an intense 70 minute film, performed by the incredible dancers of Company Wayne McGregor in his distinctive style - sculptural, rigorous, jarring and hauntingly beautiful.
Following a highly successful national and international tour of the original stage production, McGregor extended and translated his acclaimed 2013 work Atomos into a unique film experience, directed by McGregor and long-time collaborator Ravi Deepres.
Atomos features a soaring score by A Winged Victory For The Sullen, stark lighting by Lucy Carter, original film footage by Ravi Deepres, and costumes by wearable technology specialists Studio XO. Additional costumes in the middle section of the film by Moritz Junge were originally designed for McGregor's production UNDANCE.
Since it's creation in 2017, the film of Atomos has been screened at the British Science Festival, the AMUZ Festival in Belgium and received its broadcast premiere on BBC Four on Sunday 7 April 2019 as part of BBC Art's #DancePassion season.
The full film is now available to watch on the Studio Wayne McGregor YouTube channel.
