Akram Khan Company - Artist Development 2022 - Mythili Prakash

In the second year of Akram's mentorship scheme in collaboration with Sky Arts in 2022, Akram made a change to his approach by focusing on developing the careers of AKC artists. Recognising the importance of support in the artistic development process, he offered guidance to Mythili Prakash, Joy Alpuerto Ritter and Hannes Langolf. This support allowed these artists to delve deeper into their choreographic processes, enabling them to refine and expand on existing works, allowing for more experimental and refined artistic expressions.
We are excited to share an excerpt from Akram's insightful conversations with artist Mythili, shedding light on her creative journey and the impact of this support on her work.
Mythili will perform She’s Auspicious at Esplanade On 10 & 11 August.

Thank you for filiming and sharing this wonderful conversation. Some of these conversations feel so precious and special that even though you're posting these things on here, I feel like I don't deserve to watch them yet... Even the filming of the 2022 seeking satori intensive, I feel like I need your express permission to watch. It's like I'm a lock, and all of you people have the key, and you're consiously or unconsiously trying to open the lock, but the lock isn't even close to being ready to be opened. But thank you thank you thank you for reassuring me that the key exists and it is out there, one day I'll be ready to open and let it all out...Such is the plight of the amateur with access to inspiration - you remind us that there's _so_ far to go, yet so _far_ to go
