An incredible triple bill from award-winning dancer and choreographer Aakash Odedra featuring Echoes, CUT and Constellation. A mesmerising evening of three solos choreographed by acclaimed artists Aditi Mangaldas, Russell Maliphant and Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui. The works draw on Aakash’s classical background in kathak and bharatanatyam and create a unique fusion of contemporary and South Asian dance. This is the first time these three works have been performed together, offering a rare opportunity to experience an astonishing evening of dance by one of the most talented British South Asian dancers of his generation.
An exceptionally agile dancer who, it appears, has no trouble slipping between styles, effortlessly multilingual

From the off, Odedra surprises. Instead of wearing the bells on his ankles, and to a plaintive song, he swings them in a circle of light. They flash and glitter as they slice through the beams, thudding as they strike the floor. A cascade of ghungroos dangle in one corner like a glistening waterfall, individual ones snaking across the floor in rivulets of gold.
