Wayne McGregor to create new world-class arts space at Here East

Story 25/02/2015

Leading international choreographer Wayne McGregor and his company will open a new world-class arts space in Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in 2016.

Studio Wayne McGregor – to be built within Here East - will be a home for McGregor, his company and collaborators, and a major resource for the arts and for the communities of east London.

Here East is transforming the former Press and Broadcast Centres in Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park into a world-class centre of innovation and enterprise, driving the regeneration of east London and stimulating long-term economic growth in the UK. It will bring together academic institutions, start-up businesses, established global companies, investors and social enterprises, together in one space, to promote collaboration and innovation.

As the first cultural organisation to move into the Park, Studio Wayne McGregor will be a trailblazer for the new education and cultural district being developed.

Comprising three extraordinary studios and additional work spaces, Studio Wayne McGregor will host all of McGregor’s creative work alongside artist development and creative learning programmes based on the trading of space, time and skills: through ‘FreeSpace’, artists will be offered access to world-class studios regardless of funding or stage of development.
