Selected local and international dance companies will travel onto Johannesburg and the Market Theatre and will feature in a week-long celebration of some of the world\u2019s most profound and provoking dance makers and dance companies. Gauteng and Market Theatre audiences will have an opportunity to revel in the performance excellence of this carefully curated contemporary dance platform between 12 \u2013 17 September 2023. The 2023 JOMBA! festival curatorial theme (or provocation) is \u201c(in)tangible heritages\u201d and of special interest will be new work by Mamela Nyamza, who has been named the JOMBA! 2023 Legacy Artist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
JOMBA! curator, Dr Lliane Loots says, \u201cNyamza\u2019s cutting edge and deeply interrogated dance work spans over two decades of dance making in South Africa and internationally, and as JOMBA! hits its iconic 25th year, we can think of no better artist to celebrate as our JOMBA! Legacy Artist. We celebrate Mamela for her vision and practice, and for significantly contributing to our country’s rich critical contemporary dance history and legacy\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Alongside a fascinating special bouquet of dance work on offer, \u201cJOMBA! @ THE MARKET\u201d will also be offering a series of workshops and masterclasses that will be offered to support dance skills development and training, and will include a special focus on workshops\/masterclasses for lighting dance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
