Assignment: After watching 21 questions with Akram Khan as well as either Akram Khan’s solo dance theatrical work Xenos OR his group narrative work Until the Lions – please utilize two of the three prompts listed below to write two complete paragraphs about the work you just experienced:
What do you think Akram Khan was trying to convey about “being human” throughout Xenos or Until the Lions with his choreography and dancing and why?
In both works he uses abstract ideas as well as narrative storytelling to communicate with the audience as defined by Ambrosio. Write about either an abstract or narrative moment of the work that you found effective in communicating something to you as an audience member and write about how it affected you. Please include mention of any relative movement, sound, image, lighting or other elements that informed this moment.
Throughout his career Akram Khan has combined contemporary concert dance technique and choreographic structures with classical Indian dance technique and choreographic structure. Do you think the melding of the two genres is successful? Why or why not?
