This Sunday, British dancer Aakash Odedra will perform his piece, Rising, after having showcased it 176 times across 20 countries. This show he says, is a tribute to his Mumbai dance gurus Shiamak Davar and Chhaya Kantaveh. The act will feature solos created by Akram Khan, Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui and Russell Maliphant along with Odedra’s own piece. With lighting by Sadler’s Wells Associate Artist, Michael Hulls and Willy Cessa, and musical contributions from composer Jocelyn Pook (Of Eyes Wide Shut, Merchant of Venice and Gangs of New York fame), this is going to be a fine celebration of his Classical Indian dance background in Kathak and Bharatanatyam and passion for contemporary dance.
