1/2 Akram Khan - What Do Artists Do All Day ?

• 1/2 Akram Khan - What ...
First broadcast: Oct 2014.
Episode 14/14 Akram Khan is one of the UK's most exciting and experimental dancers and this film follows him to Seville for a collaboration with celebrated flamenco dancer Israel Galvan.
Both are renowned for bringing a contemporary twist to their own dance traditions and here we see them in the early stages of developing a new work together.
As they each learn from their different styles, Akram reflects on the rigorous routine behind his work, the challenges of collaborating with other artists and his desire to make contemporary dance more inclusive.
With the completed work, TOROBAKA, receiving its UK premiere at Sadler's Wells in November 2014, this film offers a revealing glimpse into the process behind its creation.

Khan is an amazing artist! His ability to do improvisation is transformative on many levels!

[@shilarangarajan]

Kathak and Flamenco are siblings that were raised in two different continents!

El mito pretende que el mismo Ganesh, dios con cabeza de elefante, creador y tocador de mridanga (tambor que origina las técnicas del pakhawaj y el tabla) fuera quien sostuviese el ritmo para la danza de su padre el dios Shiva. Lo que intenta indicar la íntima relación entre el gesto y el espíritu. Fue el crítico de danza Horst Koegler, quien vislumbró la relación estrecha entre la danza kathak y el flamenco. En un artículo significativo para su libro “The Concise Oxford Dictionary of Ballet” publicado en 1977, concluía con esta observación tan pertinente: «Los pies, adornados con cascabeles en los tobillos, actúan como instrumento de percusión de forma parecida a la que es su función en los zapateados del baile flamenco español». Intuición que corrobora la estrecha afinidad que Akram Khan e Israel Galván establecen en Torobaka.

This lad scares me. amazing dancing, just dont talk, ever.

[@jackgibbs]

Haha what, why?

[@badfreddytube]

hes got that Andrew Stone vibe about him ha

[@domeniquedelafield1278]

Then there are other people, like myself, who absolutely want to hear him talk, express, dance. He is an originator of art..on the cutting edge of merging different dance forms..delving into human existence through dance.
