Wayne McGregor | We Are Movement

Spring 2026

Internationally-celebrated, trailblazing and award-winning choreographer of The Royal Ballet, Sir Wayne McGregor CBE, reveals how we can all become more physically fluent – and so become better communicators, more creative thinkers, and ultimately live fuller lives. In his new book We Are Movement, Wayne argues that physical intelligence is instinctive, pre-verbal, and continually upgrades itself. Revisit Wayne’s conversation with broadcaster Alex Clark from our Spring 2026 Festival to discover how releasing the knots in our physical and emotional selves leaves us free to experience new forms of creativity and connection.
