Wayne McGregor’s Atomos

I wouldn’t don 3-D glasses for just anyone, but I would for Wayne McGregor. His London-based Random Dance company gives Atomos its American premiere at Peak Performances in NJ. The piece plunges his fierce performers into a visually transforming environment, including 3-D video screens hung from above (I’m trying to picture it), designed by his resident lighting genius, Lucy Carter. I loved Borderlands, their collaboration for San Francisco Ballet, which gave me a reason to interview the brilliant McGregor for Dance Magazine last year. If Atomos has even a fraction of the giddy complexity of Borderlands, I’ll be beyond happy. March 15–23 at Peak Performances in Montclair, NJ—only a half hour from Penn Station.
