Description
Ballet Choreographer and performer working in contemporary dance, opera and theatre. In 2008 he launched his own company bgroup creating the works 'The Diminishing Present', 'This Moment is Your Life' (A Bloomberg Place Prize commission) and most recently 'About Around' for the ensemble. The Russian ministry of culture invited Wright to work on a new arts and culture programme designed to develop the contemporary arts in the country's more remote cities. However, as a gay man Wright found it impossible to accept the invitation based on Russian anti-gay rights laws.
