In the second and final year of Akram’s mentorship, 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 funding allowed these artists to delve deeper into their choreographic processes, enabling them to refine and expand on existing works, delving deeper into the choreographic process, allowing for more experimental and refined artistic expressions.

Below is an insight into Akram’s insightful conversations with these artists, shedding light on their creative journeys and the impact of this support on their work.

Joy and Hannes will share their work THE FALL at Orsolina28 on 20 July.

Mythili will perform She’s Auspicious at Esplanade on 10 & 11 August.
