Three free open contemporary dance workshops will be held during the 24th JOMBA! Contemporary Dance Experience, hosted by the University of KwaZulu-Natal’s Centre for Creative Arts which takes place from August 30 to September 11, 2022.
Wednesday, August 31 from 16h00 – 17h30
Nelisiwe Xaba (SA) and Marie-Caroline
Hominal (Switzerland) will experiment with movements based on their work
Hominal / Xaba which opens the Festival and also share their artistic
practices.
Wednesday, September 7 from 16h00 – 17h30
Edna Jaime (Mozambique) will focus on
improvisation techniques and the use of emotional energies to find movements
and rhythmic coordination heavily influenced by the traditional dances of
Mozambique.
Saturday, September 10 from 10h00 – 11h30
Vincent Mantsoe (SA/France) offers a
masterclass on his technique of GOBA - the bend, to be grounded and to plié.
The technique is based on the control of the movement, energy and the use of
breath within movement. This articulation is based on the traditional forms
from Zulu, Pedi, Sotho and Xhosa styles and forms which have been translated by
Mantsoe and have evolved over time and within his dance work. This masterclass
is not for beginners.
The workshops are for dancers over 16 years old and booking is essential via Thobi Maphanga on thobimaphanga@gmail.com
All workshops will take place at Studio 410 at The Playhouse.
