As the Founder and Artistic Director of Studio Wayne McGregor, he has consistently pushed the boundaries of contemporary performance, creating works that challenge and inspire. His ensemble, Company Wayne McGregor, is a resident company at Sadler’s Wells, London, and continues to captivate audiences worldwide with its innovative productions.
In 2006, McGregor broke new ground by becoming the first contemporary choreographer appointed as Resident Choreographer at The Royal Ballet. His acclaimed works there, including the Olivier Award-winning Chroma and the evocative Woolf Works, have redefined classical ballet for modern audiences.

He serves as a Professor of Choreography at Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance and holds multiple honorary doctorates.

His 2025 programme, Myth Makers, features over 160 artists and includes the world premiere of his installation On the Other Earth, developed with artist Jeffrey Shaw.
McGregor's accolades reflect his significant contributions to the arts: he has received four Critics' Circle National Dance Awards, three Olivier Awards, a Prix Benois de la Danse, and two Golden Mask Awards. In recognition of his services to dance, he was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in 2011 and was knighted in the 2024 Birthday Honours List.
For businesses and teams navigating the complexities of the modern world, McGregor offers unparalleled insights into creativity, innovation, and collaboration.
