RED EYE JOINS FORCES WITH JOMBA!

For 2010, The Durban Art Gallery's Red Eye is joining forces with the Centre for Creative Arts' JOMBA! Contemporary Dance Experience.

Curated by well-known choreographer, dancer and performer David Gouldie and taking place in and around the gallery for a single evening during the festival on September 3, Red Eye promises to be one of the year's best artistic parties as the city centre is once again turned into a space for performance, public art and celebration.

In line with JOMBA!, the theme for artists and performers is The Body Politic. The organisers are looking for dancers, choreographers, visual artists, fine artists, performers, musicians, filmmakers, tattoo artists.

Red Eye JOMBA! 2010 will be launched to artists and performers at the Durban Art Gallery on March 24 between 18h30 and 19h30. All interested parties, including artists and performers of all persuasions, are invited to attend a briefing for one of the most exciting art events to take place in South Africa this year. Works in all media will be considered and application forms will be distributed.

The JOMBA! Contemporary Dance Experience takes place at the Elizabeth Sneddon Theatre from September 1 to 12 and features contemporary dance performances, workshops, master-classes and seminars.
