On today's episode of "Conversations On Dance", we are joined by acclaimed choreographer Akram Khan, weeks before his brand new full length production "Lady Macbeth" premieres at the Royal Danish Ballet. He tells us how the dancers of the company have immersed themselves through months of singular focus, how the work's plot has evolved&nbsp;since its inception, and how much his own dance language has fused with classical ballet vernacular to create the world of this ballet. "Lady Macbeth" runs April 24th through June 4th at the opera house mainstage in Copenhagen.&nbsp;&nbsp;LINKS: Website: <a href="https://www.conversationsondancepod.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">conversationsondancepod.com</a> Instagram: <a href="https://instagram.com/conversationsondance" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@conversationsondance</a> <a href="https://www.bonfire.com/store/conversations-on-dance/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">COD Merch</a> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@conversationsondance" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Listen to COD on YouTube</a> <a href="https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/sl/5taTM5H/COD" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Join our email list</a> <a href="https://www.conversationsondancepod.com/advertise" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Sponsorship information</a><hr> Hosted on Acast.
