Akram Khan Company takes the Gaillard Center stage on October 1st, bringing one of contemporary dance's most celebrated ensembles to downtown Charleston. Known for blending classical kathak tradition with modern movement, the London-based company has built a global reputation for visceral, visually stunning productions that push the boundaries of what dance can express.
An evening at the Gaillard is already a treat — the acoustics and sight lines make it one of the better performance venues on the East Coast — and a company of this caliber is a rare booking for the city. If you haven't seen Khan's work before, expect something that's equal parts athletic and deeply emotional. Tickets are available.
