The 25th<\/sup> JOMBA! Contemporary Dance Experience, <\/strong>hosted by the Centre for Creative Arts (UKZN) is currently running in Durban with an array of performances, workshops, and on online digital offerings until 10 September. There are also many add-ons that include spaces to hear the invited dancers and choreographers speak about their work and for audiences to engage them, as well as sessions for dancers to learn more about international opportunities, and the regular online digital portal KHULUMA will feature reviews and interviews,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Look at the full programme for the JOMBA! Talks Dance<\/em><\/strong> sessions to be hosted after some of the live performances at the Sneddon Theatre. These are all free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The JOMBA! FORGING FUTURES<\/strong> dialogue hosts a live conversation that opens dancing borders for local creators and performers.\u00a0 JOMBA! will focus on what it means to travel\/tour work out of South Africa, working in international collaborations, and how we move across borders to share performance work \u2013 with a special focus on the Netherlands. This year JOMBA! will introduce and engage the Dutch guests at this year\u2019s festival to discuss what might be possible and available to local South African artists who are interested in getting their work to broader audiences.<\/p>\n\n\n
