We're so excited to be in Durban for !Dance2026 facilitating real world experiences for some of our young creatives.
This very important learning experience is crucial, not only for the expansion of networks, but for the professional development of the students we nurture.
Nothing beats an up close and personal behind the scenes look at a world-class production and we are so grateful to the JOMBA! Contemporary Dance Experience Team, for opening their backstage doors to us, so our team can learn just what it takes to make one of Africa's most refined productions. (We still cant believe you do this for 13 consecutive days and have done so for 28 consecutive years. Wow!!)
A very special thank you to the African Festivals Network's Thobile Maphanga for your tireless efforts in actualizing this exchange!
Many many thanks to you and your team at JOMBA! as well as the faculty of the University of KwaZulu-Natal for welcoming us like family.
We can't wait to share our learnings with our little brothers and sisters back home. And we can't wait to share the incredible work of our two Grl Pwrd Champions as they fully immerse in this once in a lifetime experience. Girls!!!! And we are so back in 2027!!!!
