2.3 Mavin Khoo: Just Call Me An Artist

Mavin Khoo is a dancer and coach. He was born in Malaysia and moved between there and India from the age of 10-17. After a short stint in New York, he landed in the UK aged 18. His career has taken him all over the world. He is currently an Associate and Rehearsal Director at the Akram Kahn Dance Company. Their show Jungle Book Reimagined will play at the Edinburgh International Festival August 25-28. We talked about falling in love with dance in Malaysia at age 5, being a young queer man in London in the 90s and what Mavin does when he needs to turn his brain off.
