Every year JOMBA! offers two distinct open
platforms for the promotion of developing dance and dancers. The first of
which, the JOMBA! Youth Fringe, was held on Sunday the 31
st August
in UKZN’s Open Air Theatre. As I sat in this rather sublime outdoor venue, a
type of ancient Greek amphitheatre surrounded by the lush green of Durban’s
tropical vegetation, I was hit with how right this space was for such an event.
Surrounded by over 800 KZN based young dancers, their teachers/choreographers
and their families, I felt like I was part of something really significant.
