The JOMBA! Contemporary Dance Experience,hosted by the Centre for Creative Arts, UKZN,celebrates its 20thedition, offering its audiences a variety of dance in which to indulge over the 13 day event taking place from 28 August to 9 September.
This year, besides a packed programme of dance on the main festival, six new short works are featured on the Fringe which takes place on Saturday, September 1 at 7.30pm at the Elizabeth Sneddon Theatre.
"This open performance platform provides an opportunity for choreographers (some new to choreography and some professional dancers and dance makers) to present their work in a professional theatre environment with the support of a full technical team," says Artistic Director of JOMBA! Lliane Loots. "This is one of the ways in which theJOMBA!festival offers assistance in developing dance and choreographic talent, by offering open professional performance spaces."
For the second year running the Centre for Creative Arts, will honour one of the works with the"JOMBA! Pick Of the Fringe Award"in recognition of the excellence that independent artists and companies bring to this platform. This award comes with a small cash prize but more significantly the artist making the winning work is automatically invited to the 2019 JOMBA! KZN ON THE EDGE platform to premier a new fuller length work that will be financially and technically supported by JOMBA!
