Aakash Odedra is set to take The Courtyard stage this month for his latest solo double bill Echoes / I Imagine.
Born in Birmingham, Aakash Odedra originally trained in Kathak and Bharat Natyam with world-renowned choreographers. He now creates original dance work using a distinctive movement style inspired by South Asian classical dance, contemporary dance and collaboration.
As a dancer and artist Odedra is widely regarded as a rising star, having been mentored by Akram Khan, and his new work is regularly met with keen anticipation.
Echoes is a high-octane Kathak dance experience created by Kathak icon Aditi Mangaldas who is renowned for her artistry, energy and for breaking new ground. I Imagine is a more immediate and political work; fierce and funny, melancholic and moving, it uses movement, text and a few simple props to explore the immigrant experience.
Aged between 14 and 25? Sign up for a Courtyard Card to get tickets for this performance for just £5.
Echoes / I Imagine will be at The Courtyard on Wednesday, September 12 at 7.30pm. To book, call the box office on 01432 340555 or visit courtyard.org.uk.
