Akram Khan Company - Artist Encounters: Anatomy of a Story

One of the most influential dance artists of his generation and multi-award winning choreographer, Akram Khan, brings his distinctive voice to this year’s Artist Encounters.

Internationally celebrated and renowned for his ability to tell stories that are both visceral and profoundly human, Khan has created a body of work that is globally celebrated and deeply personal.

This landmark event will offer a rare window into the inner workings of Khan’s artistic process. Through conversation, reflection and live discussion with collaborators, he will explore how storytelling, personal history and intention underpin every stage in developing his internationally acclaimed productions.

Presented in the intimate setting of The Bhavan, a space long connected to South Asian arts and one that holds a personal significance for Akram, Anatomy of a Story offers a unique opportunity to experience the thinking and philosophy behind the work of a leading choreographic voice during a poignant moment in his artistic journey.
