Move to Live with Akram Khan

Creating a VIDEO PODCAST SERIES FOR MARQUEE TV

Client: Marquee TV

Brief: To develop, produce and deliver a new video and audio podcast series hosted by choreographer Akram Khan

Tandem process: Spent time coming up with the right treatment that suited Marquee TV’s brief and Akram’s creative concept. Selected and booked a range of high profile guests from across the arts. Recorded and edited audio and video versions of podcasts. Delivered on a variety of platforms.

Project

Marquee TV streams opera, dance, ballet, music, theatre and  jazz on demand to a global audience. They wanted a new type of podcast series that shed a different light on people from the arts world, whether actors, visual artists, writers, musicians or dancers. Akram Khan’s lifelong fascination with the way the human body moves is key to the conversations recorded with his guests, who include actor Andy Serkis, musician Izzy Judd, designer Es Devlin and prima ballerina Francesca Haywood.

Finding space in Akram Khan’s relentless schedule meant Tandem had to work very flexibly and record somewhere locally to Akram. Tandem hired a state of the art studio with high quality filming and audio recording resources and each guest was booked for recording at a time most convenient for them and Akram - often in evening sessions.
