Akram Khan Company

Deborah Weiss, 15th January

ENB have brought Akram Khan’s Giselle to London's Coliseum for the first time. It’s looking better than ever and should not be missed.

An interesting evening displaying the many facets of Natalia Osipova's talents alongside her equally exciting guests at the Linbury.

Akram Khan in concentrated colour, setting the darkness chiming with Thikra: Night of Remembering at London's Sadler's Wells.

This is a dance piece that illuminates cultural and experiential history in a way that is accessible to everyone.

Deborah Weiss, 18th September

Akram Khan's Giselle becomes ever more watchable with every viewing. A rollercoaster version of the traditional classic.
