Wayne McGregor’s term as artistic director of La Biennale di Venezia’s dance department has been extended for another two years, through until 2026.
The award-winning choreographer and director has said: ‘It has been a great honour and creative pleasure curating the last four years of Biennale Danza… Continuing our mission over the next two years to invest in new contemporary dance talents, platforming their voices through Biennale College and our bespoke developmental programmes. I look forward to working with the brilliant Biennale team to drive forward an evolving and powerful vision for dance today.’
McGregor is the founder Studio Wayne McGregor, which encompasses a touring company of dancers (Company Wayne McGregor), engages in collaborative projects in dance, music, film, art and technology, and includes learning and research programmes.
This year’s International Festival of Contemporary Dance, We Humans, will include over 160 artists who will perform in Venice from 18 July to 3 August.
