Akram Khan choreographer



Listen in to hear Akram Khan's explanation of the importance of going to the creative space within to reveal the unmediated communication with ourselves we only find in stillness.

In the dance he refers to as 'vertical road'  - a 'new starting point' - Khan makes a distinction between the usual sense of Western, horizontal, linear, clock time which we serve and Eastern time to which he attributes the qualities: feminine, seasonal and human - life and death time.


Khan also reflects on how uncomfortable it feels to be full of potential energy prior to releasing it into kinetic energy.
