Acclaimed for his physicality and hybrid
dance language rooted in the ancient Indian
dance of kathak, Akram Khan is evolving
constantly to embrace new art forms and
collaborations. Months ahead of the opening
night, Kallaway announced the collaboration
by staging a major press conference and
photocall at the National Theatre. Kallaway
managed the international and national PR,
recommended the best opportunities, supervised
photoshoots and guided the artists through
numerous press and television interviews.
Features were negotiated in key life style
titles such as Vogue magazine (syndicated
to Vogue internationally) through to leading
UK broadsheets including The Times,
Saturday Magazine, ES Magazine,
The Observer, The Independent.
Television appearances secured by Kallaway
include the BBCs Andrew Marr Show,
BBC Breakfast and Breakfast with
Frost on Al Jazeera. Kallaway
also secured the prestigious BBC arts programme,
Imagine, to make an hour long documentary
on Akrams life and work. The programme
was broadcast in October 2008.
Kallaway continues to represent Akram Khan
Company and its new productions which include
a new solo work by Akram Khan, Gnosis, which
will have its premiere as part of the Indian
festival Svapnagata at Sadler's Wells in
November 2009 and a new company work which
will premiere in the autumn of 2010.
