Leading new British choreographer Alexander Whitley showcases an exciting bill of two works in his company’s inaugural tour.
A Sadler’s Wells New Wave Associate and DanceEast Associate Artist, Whitley’s influences include technology, philosophy and design. Following his Royal Ballet School training, Whitley earned a solid reputation as a dancer with Birmingham Royal Ballet, Rambert, Michael Clark, Sydney Dance Company and Wayne McGregor | Random Dance and was twice nominated for the Critics' Circle award.
Described as “dancer turned one-to-watch choreographer” (The Metro), Whitley’s fresh presence on the UK choreographic scene earned him a 2014 South Bank Award nomination. He has created works for The Royal Ballet, Birmingham Royal Ballet, Wayne McGregor | Random Dance, Rambert and the BalletBoyz.
The Measures Taken, commissioned by the Royal Opera House in collaboration with digital artists Marshmallow Laser Feast, previewed at the Jerwood DanceHouse in June 2013 as a work in progress during the DanceEast Rough Cuts season. This visually striking and kinetically charged work explores our interdependent relationship with technology.
