We enable artists of all backgrounds to make work that reflects and responds to our humanity and we share this with the widest possible audiences – to enrich their lives and deepen their understanding of the world around us. This year we helped bring to the stage 16 productions and co-productions and presented more than 800 performances all over the world to audiences of over 650,000. We took our work to new and existing audiences digitally and on tour, including livestreaming Rosie Kay’s 5 SOLDIERS: The Body is from an Army base in London and bringing 15 Sadler’s Wells the Frontline productions to 56 different venues in 19 countries. We recorded over 34,000 attendances to our participatory activities and offered £3 tickets to almost 1,500 people from low-income households in our local borough, Islington. We celebrated creative talent by appointing a new Associate Artist, Sharon Eyal; inviting Julie Cunningham, L’atisse Rhoden and duo Project O to join our New Wave Associates; and launching a new artist development initiative for budding dance makers, the Young Associate programme. We continued to inspire young people with our learning and engagement programmes, including a new dance pilot at Mossbourne Riverside Academy, a primary school in Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. Plans for our new venue in east London have been progressing, reaching the final stage of design in autumn this year. Earlier in the summer, we were delighted to take part in the Mayor of London’s launch of his vision for the new cultural and education district that we will be part of, now named the East Bank project. We strengthened our commitment to supporting artists based outside London by appointing Akaash Odedra Company, balletLORENT and Phoenix Dance Theatre as National Partner Companies, while The Movement – our co-producing partnership with Birmingham Hippodrome and The Lowry, Salford – allowed regional audiences to experience high-quality, large-scale productions they wouldn’t have been able to enjoy otherwise. We would like to thank Sadler’s Wells staff, our family of associate artists and companies and our many generous supporters and donors for their enthusiasm and efforts – you make the theatre the creative, vibrant, relevant and ultimately successful place it is today.

We helped to bring 16 new dance works to life, including productions by three of our Associate Artists: Hofesh Shechter, Wayne McGregor and BalletBoyz. The UK premiere of Hofesh Shechter’s presented a high-octane vision of the Grand Finale end of the world, at once apocalyptic and comic, performed by 10 dancers and six live musicians. “Shechter has broadened his canvas and allowed elements of contemplation and tenderness to rebalance the visceral, raging spectacle that typifies much of his work. A mature and magnificent work.” Neil Norman, The Stage, on Grand Finale In which had its world premiere on Autobiography, our stage, Wayne McGregor explored the concept of identity through an innovative collaboration with world-leading geneticists. He took inspiration from memories and influences in his life to create 23 pieces of choreography – in reference to the 23 chromosome pairs that make up the human genome. His own genome was mapped by the scientists, with the resulting sequence converted into a computer algorithm. Each day, the algorithm’s calculation determined the order of the dance sections, with a different selection performed every time. Michael Nunn and William Trevitt’s BalletBoyz presented their programme Fourteen Days. The first part of the evening was made of four new works commissioned to choreographers Javier de Frutos, Craig Revel Horwood, Iván Pérez and our Associate Artist Christopher Wheeldon. Each choreographer collaborated with a different composer to create an original work dealing with the theme of balance, in just 14 days. The second half featured a performance of an award-winning piece commissioned Fallen, for BalletBoyz in 2013 to our Associate Artist Russell Maliphant, with lighting design by fellow Associate Michael Hulls. 8 9 10 11 12 Among other shows we co-produced were international speakers shared ideas about the pioneering dance maker Shobana Jeyasingh’s value of older dancers, the role of heritage in a radical reinterpretation contemporary dance and changing perceptions Bayadère – The Ninth Life, of Marius Petipa’s La Bayadère that questioned of age in dance.

    WAYNE MCGREGOR | RANDOM DANCE FEBRUARY 13, 2014 OZ SUPPORTS THE CREATION, DEVELOPMENT AND PRESENTATION OF SIGNIFICANT CONTEMPORARY PERFORMING AND VISUAL ART WORKS BY LEADING ARTISTS WHOSE CONTRIBUTION INFLUENCES THE ADVANCEMENT OF THEIR FIELD. ADVISORY BOARD Amy Atkinson Karen Elson Jill Robinson Anne Brown Karen Hayes Patterson Sims Libby Callaway Gavin Ivester Mike Smith Chase Cole Keith Meacham Ronnie Steine Jen Cole Ellen Meyer Joseph Sulkowski Stephanie Conner Dave Pittman Stacy Widelitz Gavin Duke Paul Polycarpou Betsy Wills Kristy Edmunds Anne Pope Mel Ziegler A MESSAGE FROM OZ Welcome and thank you for joining us for our first presentation as a new destination for contemporary performing and visual arts in Nashville. By being in the audience, you are not only supporting the visiting artists who have brought their work to Nashville for this rare occasion, you are also supporting the growth of contemporary art in this region. We thank you for your continued support. We are exceptionally lucky and very proud to have with us this evening, one of the worlds’ most inspiring choreographic minds, Wayne McGregor. An artist who emphasizes collaboration and a wide range of perspectives in his creative process, McGregor brings his own brilliant intellect and painterly vision to life in each of his works. In FAR, we witness the mind and body as interconnected forces; distorted and sensual within the same frame. As ten stunning dancers hyperextend and crouch, rapidly moving through light and shadow to a mesmerizing score, the relationship between imagination and movement becomes each viewer’s own interpretation. An acronym for Flesh in the Age of Reason, McGregor’s FAR investigates self-understanding and exemplifies the theme from Roy Porter’s novel by the same name, “that we outlive our mortal existence most enduringly in the ideas we leave behind.” Strap in.
