The JOMBA! Contemporary Dance Experience hosted by the University of KwaZulu-Natal’s award-winning Centre for Creative Arts is offering a residency for six Durban/KZN female dancers aged between 18 and 30 years.

This unique JOMBA! residency focuses on the development of young women in dance and will be led by Gaby Saranouffi (Madagascar/South Africa), and will take place at the Stable Theatre over the first week of the 2025 JOMBA! festival. 

Applicants must have some dance training and should be seeking to push their skills and make their mark in the dance world as professionals.  The final selection process will be done through auditions.

Participants are expected to be available for the full seven-day duration (August 25 to 31) with the outcomes of the residency presented at the JOMBA! Forging Futures platform on Saturday August 30, 2025. There is no remuneration, but selected participants will be given a stipend towards their transport and food during the residency.
