The 19th edition of UKZN’s Centre for
Creative Arts’ annual JOMBA! Contemporary Dance Experience will be happening
this year between August 23 and September 3, 2017, in eThekwini, KZN.
The organisers have announced that the
applications for selection to both the JOMBA! 2017 Fringe and JOMBA! 2017 Youth
Fringe are now open!
The JOMBA! Fringe is an adult contemporary
dance platform where between 8 and 9 short works (approx. 15mins each) are
selected and supported technically. The criteria for selection via the panel is
for work of excellence, professionalism, a work that is cutting-edge via
conceptualisation and via form and content. The application is ‘judged’ on what
is sent to the selection panel via the applications form so applicants should
make sure they provide enough information to be intrigued and excited about their
work. Applicants are reminded that this is a contemporary dance platform.
The JOMBA! Youth Fringe is an open youth
dance platform and all styles and genres of dance – be these be ballet,
classical Indian dance styles, Hip-Hop, traditional African dance, contemporary
etc. The JOMBA! Youth Fringe is aimed at a day of celebrating youth dance
culture and the vast amount of dance development and studio (and dance school)
work being done in KZN. Participations is aimed at dancers under 20 yrs. of
age.
Both platforms do not come with financial
support but those selected are given professional technical support in terms of
the JOMBA! team of lighting designers, sound technicians, stage managers etc.
For the first time, JOMBA! 2017 will be
offering a “JOMBA! Pick of the Fringe” award and this comes with a cash reward
of R1,000.00 (one thousand rand only). The award will be done via a panel of
dance experts on the night of the JOMBA! Fringe after the end of show –
independent panellists to be announced soon!
