Interview with Wayne McGregor, choreographer. Age 30. Comes from Cheshire.

So, what does a choreographer do?
What sort of work do you do on a day-to-day basis?
Well, obviously with my own company Random - where we focus on integrating new media with dance - and then I'm commissioned by other companies to choreograph. I've worked with the Royal Ballet, the New York City Ballet, The National Theatre and English National Opera. I might be working on an entire ballet or I might be choreographing a fight in a film or working on a sequence in a TV commercial - l did both the Eurostar and the Nike ads.
It sounds fascinating. Is it?
And what are you working on at the moment?
And what do you like most about what you do?
Any advice for aspiring dancers or choreographers?
Do you look forward to work every day?
