ResDance S2: Episode 9: ResDance S2: Episode 9: Choreography and Improvisation with Seke Chimutengwende
Seke Chimutengwende shares insight into his practice making as a choreographer and performer. Through exploring the notion of collectivity and approaches to authorship, he reflects upon his making experiences and working collaboratively across disciplines that more widely inform his practice. Seke shares insight into his latest work It begins in darkness (premiered in September 2022) and the processes involved in the making and dissemination of the work.

Seke is a choreographer, performer, movement director and teacher. In his practice,
Seke uses choreography to experiment with collectivity and alternative approaches to authorship and governance; playing with form to shift and question hierarchies. His new work It begins in darkness premiered in September 2022, a group choreography looking at ghosts and haunted houses as metaphors for how histories of slavery and colonialism haunt the present. Seke has also recently choreographed a new group work for Candoco Dance Company, In Worlds Unknown, which premiered in October 2022.
Alongside his choreographic work Seke is currently exploring long solo improvisation performances of 50 to 60 minutes and is working as a performer with Forced Entertainment in a new work which will premiere in 2023. He is also working as a dramaturg on Sue MacLaine’s new work, I Maybe Sometime. As a lecturer and teacher, Seke is a visiting lecturer in improvisation and composition at London Contemporary Dance School.
