Entity is the third panel in a triptych of pieces examining the relationship between the brain and the creative processes involved in dance. In 2002, McGregor's fascination with this topic led him to set up a research project entitled Choreography and Cognition with a team of five neuroscientists; the project was backed by a fellowship at the Department of Experimental Psychology at Cambridge University. The first product of this research was AtaXia (2004), named after the disabling physical condition. Partly inspired by a real ataxia sufferer, the piece examined the frailty of the brain-body connection. By forcing breakdowns...

And now, Allam has himself become a Roman Catholic, converting in a baptism rite inside St. Peter's Basilica, a ceremony conducted by no less than Pope Benedict XVI. Allam has held a unique public role as the most prominent Muslim commentator - and critic of Islam - right in the Vatican's backyard. Church officials may be pleased that Allam has so publicly joined the Catholic flock, but he is unlikely to become any kind of mediator in the Vatican...
