Memories of the Future
Akram Khan with Helen Linsell
An ambitious dance work starring the people of Bradford.
A major dance project with a major difference – the 60 dancers will be drawn from communities across Bradford.
Memories of the Future is a new project from world-renowned dancer-choreographer Akram Khan and Akram Khan Company, making their first visit to the city, and Helen Linsell of Dance United Yorkshire, one of the country’s leading dance participation organisations.
The show is being created for 60 dancers drawn from communities across Bradford, spanning cultures and generations – and many of them will be performing on stage for the very first time.
Memories of the Future is partly inspired by the themes of identity, belonging and home in Khan’s beautiful Jungle Book reimagined, which Akram Khan Company are performing in January at the Alhambra Theatre as part of Bradford 2025 – tickets are available now.
