Alexander Whitley: The Measures Taken and The Grit in The Oyster

‘Scene-by-scene it's extraordinary’
The Guardian

‘Scintillating inspiration born of clever science’
The Times

Described as ‘dancer turned one to watch choreographer’ (The Metro), leading new British choreographer, South Bank Award nominee 2014 and Sadler’s Wells New Wave Associate, Alexander Whitley showcases two works in his company’s inaugural tour: The Measures Taken, commissioned by The Royal Opera House in collaboration with digital artists Marshmallow Laser Feast - ‘Extraordinary’ (The Guardian), and The Grit in The Oyster set to the music of one of Britain’s most influential composers, Thomas Adès.

With influences spanning technology to philosophy and architecture to design, Whitley is a fresh new presence on the UK dance scene.
