The acclaimed choreographer and performer, co-artistic director of The Biting School Arash Khakpour discusses their latest production Empty-Handed (02-05 October 2024 at the Firehall Arts Centre), with Joseph Planta.
Text of the introduction by Joseph Planta:
I am Planta: On the Line, in Vancouver, British Columbia, at TheCommentary.ca.
Arash Khakpour joins me now. The co-artistic director of The Biting School, he is the choreographer, and one of the performers of Empty-Handed, which begins tomorrow night, 02 October 2024 at the Firehall Arts Centre. The world premiere runs until Saturday (05 October 2024). I’ll ask Arash about the piece, and the themes explored therein: darkness, deception, and greed, all timely themes. It’s a contemporary dance piece. I’ll get Arash to tell us about the music, as well as the way this piece views the world. Visit www.firehallartscentre.ca for tickets and information. And visit www.bitingschool.com for more as well. Arash is joined onstage by the performers Juolin Lee, Marisa Gold, Hayley Gawthorp, and Antonio Somera Jr. We taped this interview last week. Please welcome to the Planta: On the Line program, Arash Khakpour; Mr. Khakpour, good morning.
