OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Akram Khan is an internationally celebrated choreographer and dancer. As Artistic Director of Akram Khan Company, he has created groundbreaking works that push the boundaries of form and technique to tell urgent stories about a world in flux. His acclaimed productions—such as Thikra, Jungle Book reimagined, Outwitting the Devil, XENOS, Until the Lions, Kaash, iTMOi (in the mind of igor), DESH, Vertical Road, Gnosis, and zero degrees—articulate an artistic vision that both respects and challenges the Indian classical dance tradition while engaging deeply with contemporary dance.
Beyond his own company, Khan has made a significant mark on the wider dance ecosystem through his celebrated collaborations with English National Ballet, creating works such as Dust and Giselle, which redefined narrative ballet for the 21st century. Across all his projects, Khan brings ancient myth and centuries of tradition into dialogue with some of the most pressing political and ethical questions of our time.
