All welcome! Join Seke as he guides us with words, demonstration and music through gentle movement into dancing alone and together with freedom, play, presence and awareness.

This contact jam is not a taught class, but a space for individual and collective expression and creativity.

About the artist:  

Seke Chimutengwende is a choreographer and improviser working professionally in the UK and abroad for 20 years. His recent choreography, 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). He is currently researching a new work, The Last Quartet, which imagines a “last work” or “last attempt” at choreography, which will premiere in 2025. ​  

Alongside his choreographic work, Seke has been practising completely improvised performance, using movement and text, since 2006. He has performed over 70 solo improvisations internationally and has performed ensemble improvisation with numerous dancers, actors and musicians. He is currently presenting Long Solos: long solo improvisation performances of 50 to 60 minutes. ​  

Seke has performed for numerous dance companies including DV8 Physical Theatre and Lost Dog. Since 2021 Seke has been working as a performer with Forced Entertainment touring in shows And on the thousandth night… (2000), If All Else Fails (2023) and Signal to Noise (2024). ​  

Seke teaches improvisation in a variety of contexts internationally, most recently at London Contemporary Dance School and P.A.R.T.S. in Brussels. Seke regularly mentors and coaches other artists. ​  

Seke studied dance at Lewisham College 1999 – 2001 and London Contemporary Dance School 2001 – 2004 and went on to train extensively in improvisation with a variety of practitioners and with Andrew Morrish in particular.
