"For me it's a form of therapy to create a piece of work, a way of dealing with what's happening in the rest of the world," he said at a forum in Taipei in March.
With Zero Degrees, he told another interviewer, "each time I do the piece and I say the story, it's almost like a therapy."
Khan took three years "out" from his company to create a trio of duets. Zero Degrees was the first. The second was 2006's Sacred Monsters with French prima ballerina Sylvie Guillem. The third, Gnosis with French actress Juliette Binoche, will premiere next spring in London.
"Shifting back and forth like a tennis ball, I exist when I am on the move," he said. He certainly has been on the move this year, bouncing around the globe.
"Always in motion, [it's] always the movement," he said. "When I stop [working on a piece], when it becomes set in concrete, then I lose who I am."
