Music & Akram Khan

Music is the way of telling stories and showing emotions with sounds, dance is the movements and body language to tell the same things. Combining these two creates a powerful way of storytelling.

"The only place I feel at home is in my body."

"Limitation is the best tutor"

Artwork

Turmeric orange and spice colors in general represent the east for me, the roots of Akram Khan. Although Akram listens to his body and lives his dance in his mind and choreographed on the bodies of others, here I visualized Akram in the middle of the stage. I drew her silhouette with a single line, in such a way that her dance is both a mental expression and to reflect her passion for dance, she draws her heart forward. I symbolized the flow of music and the harmony it creates with black lines. Dance as a composition and team spirit. We see that the past and the present are reflected together with the cymbals that Akram tied on his wrist, that is, his traditions and the world motif that looks like a virus.
