Akram Khan is an extraordinary choreographer, whose work requires his dancers to adapt to his unique style of movement. In this podcast episode, we talk to two of Akram Khan Company dancers - Nicolas Ricchini and  Dennis Alamanos - about what it feels like to perform Akram's work.



Nicolas and Dennis talk about their own journeys into the contemporary dance world, their decision to become freelance dancers and their experience of dancing with Akram Khan Company for the last 3 years.



The company is on a worldwide tour showcasing various works in different cities starting in Norway, to Singapore, Canada, China, USA and more. They are coming to London to perform Chotto Desh at Sadler's Wells (18-20 Oct).
