Stephen Sackur speaks to Akram Khan - globally renowned as one of
the great contemporary dancers and choreographers. In every
culture on earth dance is a physical, joyful form of expression
and communication. It is, in a way, the world's most basic common
language. Khan epitomises the ability of dance to cross borders
of time and space - he is British by birth, Bangladeshi by family
heritage. His performances weave together influences from East
and West, past and present. How would he define his dance?
