Revolutionizing the Digital Landscape: Our CEO’s Vision for Unlimited Web Hosting…A new residency that focuses on the development of young women in dance has been announced as an exciting new addition to the JOMBA! Contemporary Dance Experience which takes place in Durban from 27 August to 8 September 2024. The 7-day residency runs during the festival and aims to encourage and support women in dance.
“Over the years we have observed that there are fewer female dancers working professionally in the contemporary dance space, and so we identified a strong need for more female-focused dance development to be done in Durban,” explains Dr Lliane Loots, Artistic Director of JOMBA!, which is hosted by the Centre for Creative Arts .
This year the residency offers space for 6 female dancers aged between 18 and 30 years who have some dance training and now seek to push their skills and make their mark in the dance world as professionals.The JOMBA! residency, led by Gaby Saranouffi , will focus on further developing the dancers’ technical abilities, as well as include workshops around forging a professional image and work ethic that will aid in preparing these young dance professionals for future work opportunities.
The selection process will be done through auditions in the form of a contemporary dance class with some improvisation on Saturday 6 July at 10am at the Flatfoot Dance Studio . Dancers-in-residence will be expected to be available for the full 7-day duration with the outcomes of the residency presented at the JOMBA! YOUTH OPEN HORIZONS platform on Sunday 1 September 2024.
There are selection criteria that include that dancers must be older than 18 years of age, and must reside in eThekwini or surrounds. While the residency and festival are offered free of charge to those who are successfully selected, participants must supply their own transport and food needs.The views of authors published on South Africa Today are their own and do not necessarily represent the views of South Africa Today.
