Seke has also recently choreographed a work for Candoco Dance Company,&nbsp;<em>In Worlds Unknown<\/em>&nbsp;(2022). He is currently researching a new work,&nbsp;<em>The Last Quartet,<\/em>&nbsp;which imagines a \u201clast work\u201d or \u201clast attempt\u201d at choreography.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/freedance.hr\/kdf-eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2025\/05\/EF92952A-1BA1-4A6C-B5DD-696FAC2DBC7B-1-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2266\" style=\"width:403px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/freedance.hr\/kdf-eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2025\/05\/EF92952A-1BA1-4A6C-B5DD-696FAC2DBC7B-1-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/freedance.hr\/kdf-eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2025\/05\/EF92952A-1BA1-4A6C-B5DD-696FAC2DBC7B-1-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/freedance.hr\/kdf-eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2025\/05\/EF92952A-1BA1-4A6C-B5DD-696FAC2DBC7B-1-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/freedance.hr\/kdf-eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2025\/05\/EF92952A-1BA1-4A6C-B5DD-696FAC2DBC7B-1-1536x1024.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/freedance.hr\/kdf-eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2025\/05\/EF92952A-1BA1-4A6C-B5DD-696FAC2DBC7B-1.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>\u200bAlongside his choreographic work, Seke has been practising completely improvised performance, using movement and text, since 2006.
