Prix de Lausanne 2020 contemporary variation , "Chroma" performed by Bayer Ballet dancer, Alina Taratorin Choreography: Studio Wayne McGregor Music: Joby Talbot ------ "Chroma explores the drama of the human body and its ability to communicate extremes of thought and emotion. The score, drawn from original music by Joby Talbot and his arrangements of music by American rock band The White Stripes, is combined with stark, minimalist designs by architect John Pawson. Against this backdrop is set the inventive and energy-driven choreography of McGregor. Chroma had its premiere in 2006 at The Royal Opera House and in 2007 received an Olivier Award for Best New Dance Production.
