These photos, by Ben Harriott and Amanda Russell, were made as part of Seke Chimutengwende’s residency at Newstead Abbey, with dancers Natifah White, Rose Sall Sao, Rhys Dennis, Alethia Antonia, Adrienne Ming, and dramaturg Charlie Ashwell. Seke is currently researching a new group choreography looking at ghosts and haunted houses as metaphors for how histories of slavery and colonialism haunt the present.
This work was co-commissioned by dance artist Eleanor Sikorski (with support from Arts Council England), Dancing Museums 2 and Dance4, and created during a residency on the site of Newstead Abbey in July 2021.
