Finding your Rhythm with Dyslexia with Aakash Odedra
“Life was dance, and dance was life…”
Telling your story of life with dyslexia isn't always expressed through the written word.
Our guest in this episode, Aakash Odedra, shares his experience of the challenges with dyslexia through dance.
In Aakash’s currently touring production ‘Little Murmur’, he shares his story of never fitting in at school, being cast aside by teachers and being moved from school to school, never finding his feet and never getting the support with the challenges of dyslexia.
Diagnosed with dyslexia at a young age, Aakash found school very challenging, dance became his outlet to fully express himself and enjoy his strengths of dyslexia.
Combining visual design and technology with dance and humour, Little Murmur explores the warped and exaggerated realities of living in a world you struggle to process.
For Aakash, dance was his way of escaping into another world away from the challenges of his dyslexia. Today, ‘Little Murmur’ is his way to help others with dyslexia to see that they can, and have permission to lean into their dyslexic strengths and live a fulfilling life.
Aakash’s Dyslexic Life Hack is to ‘Just Dance’ which is a way of saying ‘do what you love’ which is a great lesson for everyone with dyslexia to learn.
Key Topics:
- Not being accepted and supported in education
