‘<strong>Infra</strong> is a groundbreaking work which showcases the possibilities of modern<br />
ballet. Wayne is a galvanizing force for dance in the 21st century and through<br />
his unique choreography he constantly challenges and extends balletic<br />
technique, creating a new and exciting theatrical experience for dancers and<br />
audiences. I’m thrilled that thousands of young people will be able to study<br />
and learn from his genius.’<br />
