We will work alone, in pairs and as a group, practising moving and using our voices together. Through guided explorations games and scores, we will explore different ways of generating material and relating that material to others. We will develop the skills of listening, noticing and responding.
There will be the opportunity to watch each other in our explorations. Seke Chimutengwende brings all his experience and humour as performer into this class. His teaching facilitates ease and confidence in performing and a joyful approach to improvising together.
Cancellations and refunds
Prices for classes are kept very low and are subsidised by ID in order to support artists to attend. To keep admin manageable for our small team, we don’t offer refunds if you cancel or can’t attend a class, and we can’t transfer your booking to a different class/event. We hope this is understandable. If a class is cancelled or changed by ID however, we do offer refunds/transfers to everyone who has booked.
Seke Chimutengwende uses choreography to experiment with collectivity and alternative approaches to authorship and governance; playing with form to shift and question hierarchies. His recent work It begins in darkness (2022), looks at ghosts and haunted houses as metaphors for how histories of slavery and colonialism haunt the present. Seke has also recently choreographed a work for Candoco Dance Company, In Worlds Unknown (2022). His next work, The Last Quartet (working title), imagines a “last work” or “last attempt” at choreography, and will premiere in 2025.
Alongside his choreographic work Seke performs completely improvised solos and is currently exploring long solo improvisation performances of 50 to 60 minutes. Seke regular performs in other peoples’ work and is currently a guest performer with Forced Entertainment. Seke has worked as a guest lecturer in improvisation at many institutions, most recently LCDS and P.A.R.T.S.
