“Life was dance, and dance was life…”Telling your story of life with dyslexia isn't always expressed through the written word. Our guest in this episode, Aakash Odedra, shares his experience of the challenges with dyslexia through dance. In Aakash's currently touring production ‘Little Murmur', he shares his story of never fitting in at school, being cast aside by teachers and being moved from school to school, never finding his feet and never getting the support with the challenges of dyslexia. Diagnosed with dyslexia at a young age, Aakash found school very challenging, dance became his outlet to fully express himself and enjoy his strengths of dyslexia.Combining visual design and technology with dance and humour, Little Murmur explores the warped and exaggerated realities of living in a world you struggle to process. For Aakash, dance was his way of escaping into another world away from the challenges of his dyslexia. Today, ‘Little Murmur' is his way to help others with dyslexia to see that they can, and have permission to lean into their dyslexic strengths and live a fulfilling life.Aakash's Dyslexic Life Hack is to ‘Just Dance' which is a way of saying ‘do what you love' which is a great lesson for everyone with dyslexia to learn.Key Topics:Not being accepted and supported in education Dancing to escape Finding your rhythm with dyslexia Find Aakash at: Website  YouTube Link Tree-Proudly sponsored by neurobox.

“Blessed with an unparalleled memory for melody and vocal technique from virtually any culture, Nicki is able to easily leap from folk, French trip-hop, deep gospel, jazz or choral vocals to Indian classical or Arabic inflections as if all were emanating directly from her soul,” describes long time collaborator Nitin Sawhney who adds that:“Nicki is an entirely new phenomenon. She is truly the first global singer.”Singer, songwriter and composer Nicki Wells, AKA TURYA has performed in some of the world’s most prestigious venues from London’s Royal Albert Hall and Sydney Opera House to Glastonbury’s main Pyramid Stage.I met Nicki briefly some 8 years ago now outside Triyoga via a Dear mutual friend who sadly took her own life not long afterwards. Little did I know when we met how she would remain part of that connection.Simply put, I’m a huge fan of Nicki’s. This beautiful human has accompanied my inner journey from meditation to personal yoga practices, classes and my studios. Her etherial voice connects with an inner effortlessness and flows as if calling you home.This conversation is a versatile and fluid as her music, we traverse, her obviously stunning voice, her composition work, Nitin Sawhney, her childhood in Himachel Pradesh surrounded by mystic musicality, creativity, spirituality, consciousness, oneness, lightness of spirit and her more recent calling of sound to silence.Her voice has contributed to a number of films including Andy Serkis’s Mowgli, Deepa Mehta’s Midnight’s Children, Renny Harlin’s The Legend of Hercules and was a major part of the scores of BBC documentaries such as The Human Planet series.Amongst many other projects, Nicki also composed the score to documentary filmmaker Koen Suidgeest’s: Girl Connected and then joined forces with renowned sitarist Anoushka Shankar to compose the score for upcoming documentary film An Officer and His Holiness.She is currently scoring the music to Indian Classical dancer Aditi Mangaldas’s new contemporary dance show to be premiered in India 2020 and joining forces once again with Aakash Odedra for his new epic production Samsara where he is joined by Chinese dancer Hu Shenyuan.

Choreographer Aakash Odedra is dyslexic and has always felt that his best expression comes through movement. “Murmur” is his ode to that experience, teaming up with co-creators Lewis Major and Ars Electronica Futurelab. Watch him spin his way through the center of a storm, as pages of books take flight all around him.

안무가 아카쉬 오데드라는 난독증을 갖고 있습니다. 그는 동작을 통한 표현이 제일이라고 생각해왔습니다. "중얼거림"은 그런 경험에 대한 그의 예찬입니다. 책장들이 그 주변을 날아다닐 때, 그가 폭풍우를 헤쳐가는 모습을 지켜보세요.

Der Choreograph Aakash Odedra ist Legastheniker und hatte immer das Gefühl, sich am besten durch Bewegung ausdrücken zu können. "Murmur" (Gemurmel) ist seine Ode an diese Erfahrung. Sehen Sie ihm zu, wie er durch einen Sturm wirbelt, während Buchseiten rings um ihn in die Höhe flattern.

O coreógrafo Aakash Odedra é disléxico e sempre sentiu que sua melhor forma de expressão decorre do movimento. “Murmur” (Murmúrio) é uma ode a essa experiência. Observe-o girar ao centro de uma tempestade, enquanto páginas de livros voam à sua volta.

Having dyslexia, a vivid imagination and an urge to experience the world through more than just words. Formal education wasn't quite the right fit for Aakash Odedra. So at the age of  15, Aakash packed his bags for a journey of self-discovery. This is a wonderful coming of age story with some interesting plot twists, best of all it's 100% true!  

In this third and final episode, Aakash Odedra describes his projects in development, including Murmur, an exploration of dyslexia through dance and technology, and Inked, a solo created in collaboration with French-Belgian choreographer Damien Jalet, about the markings on the body of Aakash's grandmother. In closing, Aakash explains his need to balance life on and off the stage.

In this second of three episodes, Aakash talks about his first encounter with celebrated British dancer and choreographer Akram Khan and how their meeting changed the course of his destiny. In 2011, Akram and world-renowned choreographers Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui and Russell Maliphant each made a solo for Aakash who also contributed his own work to create the full evening program Rising. Aakash then speaks of his involvement in the choreographic project James Brown: Get on the Good Foot.

In this first of three episodes, Cathy Levy speaks to the up-and-coming young star of British dance Aakash Odedra who performed Rising at Canada's National Arts Centre in February 2014. Aakash describes his early obsession with dance and the degree to which his family recognized his gift and supported him. He explains how he trained in the classical Indian dance styles of Kathak and Bharat Natyam in India and the United Kingdom, never differentiating between dancing and choreography.
