Listen Later

On today's episode of "Conversations On Dance", we welcome internationally acclaimed choreographer Akram Khan. He shares with us his unorthodox path to a career as a dancer and choreographer, from spending grueling hours in his garage teaching himself dance to his path to university, his process while working with dancers new to his style of movement, and how rewarding it has been to unite artists working within different methods of classical indian dance in his latest project "Gigenis". "Gigenis" will be performed at the Kennedy Center from April 17th through the 19th. If you're in the Washington DC area and would like to purchase tickets, visit kennedy-center.org
