Now entering its final weeks, Somerset House’s exhibition Wayne McGregor: Infinite Bodies, the first of its kind in-depth focus on the three-decade career of internationally acclaimed choreographer and director Sir Wayne McGregor CBE, has witnessed a spectacular run and remains on view until 22 February. Infinite Bodies continues to be brought to life by Company Wayne McGregor dancers who have been in residence throughout, activating the multi-sensory installations on view, offering audiences an unparallelled encounter with the power of movement and a unique opportunity to respond and interact. Infinite Bodies highlights the dynamic constellation of collaborators across dance, visual arts and sound, exploring bold new expressions of the body across space, time, and technology that McGregor is renowned for. AISOMA, an artificially intelligent choreographic tool trained on McGregor’s own archive and a collaboration with Google Arts & Culture Lab, encourages visitors to create their own performance – recording the movements of participants to generate a live dialogue between the individual and the original material recorded within the archive. Presented offsite, in partnership with Stone Nest in London’s West End, Wayne McGregor: On The Other Earth is the world’s first post-cinematic choreographic installation, that refracts, evolves and reimagines dance performance in a startlingly new form. Since being premiered in the UK in October 2025, On The Other Earth has provided a hyperreal experience for audiences that brings them into the heart of dance, as if stepping on to the world stage with dancers from Company Wayne McGregor and Hong Kong.

Infinite Bodies showcases OMNI, a striking new work created with Industrial Light & Magic that blends choreography with high-impact visual effects. The exhibition also features long-time partners Random International, including the responsive light installations Future Self and No One is an Island which explore the evolving relationship between humans and machines, bringing dancers into live interaction with kinetic light sculptures that mimic biological movement in the most minimalist manner.

Ben Cullen Williams’ sculptural collaboration A Body for AI embodies the evolving dialogue between technology and the human body; a bold reflection on identity – the real and the artificial, time and space, dance and landscape. Deepstaria Void conjures a highly sensory, meditative acoustic space, filled with a composition designed by Invisible Mountain. They have created an acoustic image that is continuously recomposed and performed by their bespoke digital audio engine, Bronze AI. Presented in an environment with limited lighting, the installation focuses the senses and heightens the audience’s perception of sound, space and presence, redefining the boundaries between live and digital experiences.

Infinite Bodies showcases McGregor’s high-profile collaborations across film, fashion, music, and dance, including fashion designer Gareth Pugh, artist Shirazeh Houshiary and music icons Radiohead and The Chemical Brothers. In many of these striking films, dance becomes a visceral, wordless form of communication, creating a connection between performer and viewer.
