In 1992 McGregor founded Random Dance, which has grown into Studio Wayne McGregor to encompass his extensive creative output in fields both beyond and in dialogue with dance. Company Wayne McGregor, his ensemble of highly skilled dancers, was the original instrument through which he evolved his distinctive visual style.
