Dance St. Louis brings London-based choreographer/director Wayne McGregor for the Midwestern premiere of McGregor's most personal show, Autobiography. The piece takes its shape from the very building blocks of McGregor's body, his DNA. He created 23 portraits in movement, one for each chromosome pair, after having his genome sequenced. A computer algorithm resequences each of the 23 individual pieces prior to every show, so no two performances are alike. Company Wayne McGregor presents Autobiography, which features a score by electronic musician Jlin and set design and projections by Ben Cullen Williams, at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, February 27, at the Touhill Performing Arts Center on the University of Missouri-St. Louis campus (1 University Drive at Natural Bridge Road; www.touhill.org). Tickets for this once-in-a-lifetime show are $35 to $69. $35-$69

What does it mean to write your own life-story? For twenty-five years, Wayne McGregor has been making choreography that interrogates life through the experience of the body, moving intelligently in space and time. His practice has been far-reaching and sought out collaborators from a diverse range of artistic and scientific fields to investigate the nature of embodied cognition. Now McGregor turns his attention to the body as archive, as he embarks on a cycle of choreographic portraits illuminated by the sequencing of his own genome. $35-$69
