Akram Khan
As experimental dancer Akram Khan visits Seville for a collaboration with flamenco dancer Israel Galvan, this film offers a glimpse into the process behind its creation.
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.
