UEL Dance:Urban Practice Students and Graduates! Some of you might know that I work closely with JOMBA! the biggest and oldest dance festival in a South Africa (and Africa). Each year my colleague runs a dance writing residency called KHULUMA in which students from South Africa, the United Arab Emirates and UEL students/graduates do workshops and write reviews on the festival. This year I’m looking for UEL students/graduates to take part. We will be writing reviews for the online strand of the festival AND you will be working with students from South Africa to make a performance response to the prices you’ve watched. This is a fantastic opportunity and I could go on about how you should be involved. So email me at [email protected] to take part. It runs end of August to beginning of September. Do get involved!!!

Welcome to 13 days of JOMBA!
