Akademi returns to the South Bank Centre for a second year of solos and duets that are bold, alluring and accomplished, this time united under the guidance of composer John-Marc Gowans. British-based with international roots, these artists provide a fresh (and decidedly English) take on traditional Indian dance styles, kathak and bharata natyam. Purcell Room
