Notes

McGregor on creation brain-body connection:
What drives McGregor is pushing boundaries, extending the palette of what the body is capable of, or, put simply, "how you say something differently" – which is where the cognitive science comes into play. "The scientists have made a huge difference in changing the dancers' physical signatures," he explains. "What we realised is it's not just about what the dancers do, it's how they think about what they do, because the first point of departure when you're moving is actually imagining. So if you're always imagining in the same way, most likely you're always moving in the same way. If you can redirect the imagining you should be able redirect the physicality. It's pretty logical, really."
