SEKI as a dance form seeks to trace the roots of the American Tap Dance to the Core Niger Delta Area Of Nigeria, through an amalgam of masquerade displays, Aquarian nuances, drama, fused with rhythmic songs and drums in a pantomimic flavour.
There is a fundamental undergird in terms of motivation, which is simply that #SEKI is a non-violent response to the entreaties of foreign incursions and its pervading influence on the cultural mores of the Rivers People of the Niger Delta.
So, in one breath, #SEKI seeks to promote the positive virtues and values sancrsanct to a people of peaceful and hospitable disposition but misrepresented as volatile and irritable.
With focused and persistent sacrifice, the cast and crew of
Seki Dance Drama (Created and Directed by Yibo Koko) have etched Rivers state and the Niger Delta Area Of Nigeria in the global cultural map as a creative hub through our various performances in Nigeria.
