Performance
Wednesday 3rd of May • 20
Double Act • Seke Chimtungwende & Kate Hilder
Kate and Seke have worked together for the past 8 years in performance, as co-teachers and as founder members of Stranger than Fiction – an improvised performance platform in London. They met at a solo improvisation workshop with Andrew Morrish, and have been profoundly influenced by his model of performance practice. They have performed duets in Berlin, Gothenburg, London, Brighton and Hastings. They work without any pre-planned structure or theme, preferring to find both in the moment of performance. Their duets encompass storytelling, humour and abstract expressionism.
Kate Hilder is a physical theatre practitioner and a certified Feldenkrais teacher who has been teaching and performing across Europe since 2004. She has recently moved to Ireland from the UK and teaches dance and voice students at the University of Limerick. She is a certified Action Theater™ teacher and has been influenced by her training with Andrew Morrish, Roy Hart Theatre voice teachers, and in dance improvisation.
