S1 EP8: Jonzi D: Bringing hip hop theatre to life

Jonzi D discovered the power of dance, drama and storytelling growing up in East London in the 1970s and 80s. He’s gone on to create exciting platforms for people to explore the different manifestations of hip hop - breakdance, music, graffiti, rap, beatboxing and more. And to bring out inner feelings in movement, in expressions of joy and trauma, tension and release. Jonzi calls it cultural energy and in his Breakin’ Convention festival at Sadlers Wells in London he’s been wowing audiences with this brand of hip hop theatre. Out of the festival, more exciting projects are growing and in a wide ranging conversation with Akram, Jonzi remembers his beginnings in the world of movement, his seminal video Aeroplane Man and how mind and body are occasionally at odds with each other.

S1 EP7: Kathryn Hunter: How Shakespeare requires ‘sculpted physicality’, the importance of yoga for her wellbeing and how screenwriter Joel Cohen wanted her to move like a crow.

Olivier Award-winning Actress and Director Kathryn Hunter is renowned for her work with physical theatre, notably with the pioneering theatre company Complicité, co-founded by her late husband Marcello Magni. She talks to Akram about her work with Marcello and how movement has always been a cornerstone of her approach to acting. Shakespeare has also been a cornerstone of Kathryn’s career and she discusses her approach to playing the “Everest” of roles, King Lear, in two different productions spanning a 25 year timeframe. She also talks about how different stages make her move differently, and recalls how screenwriter Joel Cohen wanted her to combine the physicality of a crow combined with a standing stone for his film The Tragedy of Macbeth. And Kathryn tells Akram how a serious accident left her with life-changing injuries but how this resulted in her thinking anew about how she could communicate physically.

S1 EP6: Francesca Hayward: Habits and routines, space and freedom. And her ‘diva foot’

Francesca Hayward joined the Royal Ballet in London at the age of eighteen and since 2016 she has been a Principal dancer. She talks to Akram about her grandmother buying her a ballet video aged three, how the stories she saw enveloped her, and the drama of dance became her all-consuming passion. She says ‘as a small person’ she likes to surprise people by using the stage to the max – her big jumps ‘eating up the space’ and feeling like flying. And how although she doesn’t enjoy swimming on the surface of water, underwater she feels at home, ‘like a fish’. And Francesca opens up to Akram about the way she gets her body and mind into gear as she prepares to be confident and calm for a performance.

S1 EP3: Andy Serkis: Finding inspiration in the movement of his cat, the liberation of performance capture and how he (almost) swapped acting for high finance

For decades actor and director Andy Serkis has been at the cutting edge of how the movements and expressions of the human body can merge with animation to create creatures of myth and the imagination, from King Kong and Caesar from Planet of the Apes to Tolkien’s Gollum in The Lord of the Rings. He talks to Akram about his early days acting in theatre repertory where he learned how physicality connects with the body’s emotional centre, and about the intricate technique of performance capture: ‘the egalitarian 21st century actors tool where any actor can play anything.’ He also discusses the freedoms that great movie directors like Peter Jackson and Mike Leigh have given him as an actor, and remembers his first experiences of directing films himself.

Akram describes artist and stage designer Es Devlin as a force of both nature and wisdom. In a wide ranging conversation Es reveals to Akram how being sensitive to movement has a profound effect on all her many and varied design projects.

She also reveals to Akram her simple morning ritual involving movement of sunlight that grounds her at the beginning of each day.
