Aakash Odedra Company: Murmur 2.0, The Place

20 Nov 15 – 21 Nov 15, 8:00 PM – 10:00 PM

Contemporary dance in London is infused with classical Indian Kathak, as the Aakash Odedra Company brings Murmur to The Place.

The show: It’s often said that dance is a universal language, and a young Aakash Odedra took that literally when words and letters proved unreliable for him. Co-created with Australian choreographer Lewis Major, this is a ‘duet with dyslexia,’ both representing the experience and finding a solution in dance.
The piece ran to general intrigue at the Royal Opera House in early 2015. Odedra’s intricately mapped, spinning movements dance the abandonment of words through a literal hurricane of paper and words, escaping the white silhouettes that dog him across the stage.
The artist: A classical Indian Kathak and Bharat Natyam dancer at origin, Odedra developed his contemporary style under mentor Akram Khan, and has already had works created on him by dance titans Khan, Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui and Russell Maliphant.

    GUARDIAN

    “Odedra only looks easy in his skin when he’s alone and dancing – his central solo, in a syncopated, almost jazzy style of kathak is a joy.” 

    Judith Mackrell

  • A little extra?

    The Place's Spectator School events give you the chance to learn that little bit more about the shows and the people who make them happen.

    Join us before the show for an interactive presentation led by British Dyslexia Association CEO Dr Kate Saunders, and a panel discussion on the relationship between creativity and dyslexia. 

    Click here to book. Tickets are free when purchased with a ticket to the show, or £5 otherwise.
