As a taster to his new series, choreographer and dancer Akram Khan introduces us to his passion for movement and the way it affects everything he does in life. In conversation with Marquee TV’s Director of Content, Susannah Simons.

Akram’s groundbreaking and innovative work includes projects ranging from Jungle Book reimagined to the 2012 Olympic opening ceremony, while his many collaborators include Anish Kapoor, the National Ballet of China and Kylie Minogue. He believes our 21st century lives are becoming more and more static and that moving our bodies can often alleviate both physical and psychological problems and open up a new perspective on life. In the lead up to a series of conversations Akram will be having with celebrated artists, actors and musicians about their relationship with movement, we find out how the man himself ticks.
