A Landmark Performance for Bradford 2025

Memories of the Future is an extraordinary collaboration between Akram Khan Company (AKC) and Dance United Yorkshire (DUY), created as part of Bradford 2025 UK City of Culture. This one-of-a-kind performance brings together world-class artists and over 70 community performers, aged 8 to 79, from across Bradford.

Co-directed by Akram Khan and Helen Linsell, the piece is choreographed by emerging artists Elliott Augustine and Tallulah Shannon. With original music by Vincenzo Lamagna, stunning costumes by Ryan Dawson Laight, and evocative lighting by Zeynep Kepekli, this promises to be a powerful and visually striking production.

What’s the Story?

Inspired by Akram Khan Company’s Jungle Book reimagined, Memories of the Future explores the universal search for belonging. Through movement and storytelling, the piece reflects on how we navigate identity, connection, and change throughout our lives.

Rehearsed weekly by six community groups in Bradford, the production champions diverse voices and the transformative power of dance.
