Improvisation & choreography with Seke Chimutengwende
Event Information
Description
Taking place as part of the 'I am Not A Village' residency at Guest Projects, this workshop is led by lead choreographer Seke Chimutengwende.
"This workshop is for anybody interested in improvising with others using movement and text. We will work alone, in pairs and as a group, practicing moving and using our voices together. We will explore different ways of generating material and relating that material to others, developing skills of listening, noticing and responding in performance.
We will go on to develop performance scores - sets of instructions or rules used to create a performance. These scores will form part of the action on the filming days.
Seke brings all his experience and humour as performer into this workshop. His teaching facilitates ease and confidence in performing and a joyful approach to improvising together."
