Kathak by Akram Khan

This is the British based Kathak dancer & not the famous tabla player. Part of a South Bank Show special with contributions by Sri Pratap Pawar, his guru-ji.

yes please post the second part - this was wonderfully educational. He has a book out that I so wish I bought about Kathak - sold in the Nat'l Theater bookshop if anyone's wondering... :)

The second half was more about his contemporary dance stuff but I'll have another look.

does anyone know what the video of zero degrees where akram khan and sidi larbi are mirroring each other? (they are sitting down cross legged and talking about a passport)

very nice. I like your dance; Hope we can do music together in near future. I am often in Brussels --now may to july20th; There is lot of scope for tabla player to play with Kathak

[ohimechan]

no he shows a new dance piece (baran) to be taught later on (the first part was a tukra)

I have learnt with Pratap and hence talking from experience. I have heard from other students as well that he just takes money off them and teaches nothing. He is a brilliant dancer but not a good teacher. Akram is fantastic.
