Welcome back to On Dance. In this episode, we're thrilled to be joined by one of the most celebrated and respected dance artists of today, Akram Khan.

In just over 23 years, Khan has created a body of work that has contributed significantly to the arts in the UK and abroad through the success of imaginative, highly accessible and relevant productions.

In this conversation, we discuss Jungle Book reimagined which we saw recently at the Broad in Santa Monica, CA. Together with Khan, we explore how his dancers became animal characters, the ways he works with his own voice and others, his daughter's influence in developing the show, and his views on dance reviews.
