The Centre for Creative Arts at the University of KwaZulu-Natal has bestowed a Lifetime Achievement Award on Dr Lliane Loots, the Curator and Artistic Director of the JOMBA! Contemporary Dance Experience. The Award was presented at the opening of the 25th edition of the JOMBA! festival at the Elizabeth Sneddon Theatre on Tuesday 29 September 2023.

“For a quarter of a century under challenging funding environments, changing political landscapes, and varying socio-economic conditions, Dr Lliane Loots has championed the JOMBA! Contemporary Dance Experience as South Africa’s longest-running dance festival and as one of the leading contemporary dance events on the African continent. The Award recognises her visionary leadership, service to the cultural sector, and committed activism for dance education”, said Dr Ismail Mahomed, the Director of the Centre for Creative Arts.

In 2021, under the leadership of Dr Lliane Loots, the JOMBA! festival received the National Institute for Humanities & Social Sciences Award for Best Creations for work produced in the digital space during the Covid-19 pandemic. During the same year, JOMBA! launched an annual colloquium to advance academic scholarship in African contemporary dance. In 2022, JOMBA! was awarded the Business Arts South Africa Chairman’s Award for Arts & Education & Activism.

During her distinguished career, Dr Lliane Loots has also won numerous national choreographic awards and commissions. She has travelled the world extensively as an academic and artist in her own right. In 2017, the French government awarded her the Chevalier l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres (Knight of the Order of the Arts & Literature) Award for promoting extensive cultural collaborations between artists from France and South Africa.

For the past 25 years, since founding the JOMBA! festival, Dr Lliane Loots has combined her curatorial work for JOMBA! while simultaneously holding the position of dance lecturer in the Drama and Performance Studies Programme at the University of KwaZulu-Natal (Howard College Campus). She has a Master’s degree in Gender Studies and completed her PhD in 2018 looking at contemporary dance/performance histories on the African continent. She is the founder and Artistic Director of the now 20-year-old FLATFOOT DANCE COMPANY which continues to contribute to the contemporary dance landscape of the country, as well as provide important dance training for youth in communities around Durban.

“The Centre for Creative Arts is indebted to Dr Lliane Loots for her selfless contribution that has grown the JOMBA! festival as an iconic international platform. The festival has catapulted the artistic careers of many leading South African choreographers and dancers. It has firmly entrenched the role that the JOMBA! festival can make to academic scholarship; and thus making her a worthy recipient of a Lifetime Achievement Award for her more than quarter century of visionary leadership”, added Mahomed.

The JOMBA! festival opened on Tuesday 29 August and runs until 10 September featuring performances, workshops, talks, digital offerings, an online festival news and review portal, a 25th anniversary book launch, and a dance for youth programme. The festival has a four-day satellite event at The Market Theatre in Johannesburg from 13 to 16 September.

In the twilight of my years, when I reflect on all the daft things I’ve done in my life, I keep on coming back to The Great Jelly Bean Run. After several beers in the pub at Crossways Hotel in Hilton, I would often come up with crazy ideas about training for the Comrades Marathon. One of them was that to run the full Comrades Marathon distance three weeks before the big race would be a good way to warm up for the actual event. My theory was greeted with much disdain amongst my running (and drinking) peers except for one individual who, like me, displayed similar symptoms of madness, one Dave Cook. We decided that a good night to accomplish the deed would be Friday 10th May 1974 when there would be a full moon to guide us on our journey. We drove down to Durban in my car, following the Comrade’s route and leaving several cans of Coke hidden in the roadside verge for later consumption. I also had the foresight to buy a bag of jellybeans for a reward at the top of each hill on the run back to Pietermaritzburg.

Once in Durban, we left my car in a parking garage, and we walked to the City Hall to begin our journey. In Pinetown, the aroma of freshly made boerewors rolls halted us temporarily but fuelled us nicely for the slog up Field’s Hill. We stopped at the summit of every hill and gave each other a jellybean as a reward. There are a great deal of hills between Durban and Pietermaritzburg but I had wisely anticipated this by buying the largest bag of jellybeans I could find.

And so, after much laughter and merriment (not to mention getting sick of the sight of jellybeans) Dave and I reached the outskirts of Pietermaritzburg at daybreak where we came across Dave’s elderly father waiting on the side of the road to cheer us on. I’ve often wondered how he timed it! We finally reached the finish in a running time of 8 hours and 27 minutes and a total time of 9 hours and 25 minutes.

I had to then run to my pharmacy, have a wash in the basin, change into my work clothes and open the shop at 8am for business as usual.

P.S. I ran Comrades three weeks later in a time of 7 hours 20 minutes and 24 seconds. According to my diary, it was a painful run on very tired legs! Hmmm! I wonder why?

I have attached two photos taken around the time of the Great Jelly Bean Run. One is of me and the other is of Dave Cook and I skinny-dipping in a 'Berg stream suitably abridged. The unabridged photo of Dave and I received some fame at parties in Hilton during the 1970’s. At some stage during the party one of the girls would start a chorus of “We want the picture!” and it would duly be produced and passed around amongst the girls who would make derogatory comments about our male attributes. It was all good fun and Dave, and I encouraged the tradition.

Running an entirely individual race, young Tayla Kavanagh owned the Maritzburg SPAR Women’s 10/5km Challenge that took place in Pietermaritzburg on Sunday 20 August.

Leading from the start to finish with a gun-to-tape dash, the 22 year old running for Hollywood Athletics Club, finished her 10km challenge in a time of 34.07. Kavanagh had a decent lead of 1 minute and 14 seconds to second place Jenet Mbhele, who finished in 35.21. A delighted third place Makhosi Mhlongo crossed 3 minutes and 21 seconds behind Kavanagh, in a time of 37.28.

A fresh looking Kavanagh, who resides in Hillcrest started after her run, “I had a good run, the course was undulating which suit me. The actual race was tough as I ran completely solo from the start. There was no one to help push me but it was a good test for me demanding my focus on keeping up my pace”

The leading lady’s next race will be in two weeks’ time when she will be hitting the streets of Durban for her home club’s race, the Hollywoodbets 10km run. Thereafter, the budding athlete will be heading to the 5km World Champs in Riga, Latvia running around the Baltic city on 1 October. This will be her second international race, having a Hollywood dream build up to her second global race, the determined star finished second in the recent Totalsports Women’s Race held in Durban recently, in a time of 33.44. Her first international race was in Germany last year where she took part in the Race 2 Records 10km run.

“I really would love to run a fast time in Riga, even a personal best would be great.” Talking about her personal best, the trail blazer has a 32.10 best run that she set in 2021 at the SA Champs for 10km.

Both second-place Mbhele and third-place Mhlongo will be heading east where they will both be competing in the gruelling 50km World Champs in Hyderabad, India later this year. 28 year old Mbhele from Umzimkulu ran in the Comrades earlier this year where she finished tenth overall.

A completely sold-out field of 3,100 ladies tackled the course, starting in a gorgeous mystical mist that enveloped Alexandra Park area before the clouds lifted and burnt off, and the day warmed up to a gorgeous sunny morning.

CHOC House in Pietermaritzburg, the race charity for the event, were awarded a cheque of R20,000, with R5 from each entry being donated to them.

A delightful mix of contemporary dance for young (and young at heart) audiences is on offer at this year’s JOMBA! Contemporary Dance Experience as part of the 13-day festival that runs in Durban from 29 August – 10 September 2023.
.
JOMBA! has partnered with ASSITEJ (the International Association of Theatre for Children and Young People) an international alliance of professionals involved in theatre for children and young people,to offer a special “JOMBA! FOR YOUTH FOCUS” that opens up contemporary dance performance for younger audiences.

JOMBA! welcomes artists from both Switzerland and the Netherlands in this new JOMBA! programme that travels to schools and which also offers public performances.

From The Netherlands de Stilte is a dance company that focuses entirely on developing productions and performing for children. Since their foundation in 1994, they have expanded to become the most attended youth theatre producer in the Netherlands. They bring FLYING COW choreographed by Jack Timmermans and is the story of two girls and a boy who embark on a stand-off. When there are three of you, who plays with whom? Flying Cow explores how children play together, trying to outdo each other, taking each other’s things and company, teasing, sharing, consenting, finding a way for threesomes to play This work is suitable for audience 5+ (adults most welcome too!). FLYING COW will be performed at The Stable Theatre on Friday, 1 September at 2.30pm, and on Saturday, 2 September at 10am.

Switzerland’s Joshua Monten, brings a delightful engrossing work called GAME THEORY that will travel to two prebooked Durban schools in KwaMashu and Umlazi. In GAME THEORY Monten looks deeply at some of the building blocks of play: freedom and rules, ritual and surprise, adrenaline and flow. The result is a witty and humorous look at the human condition and the games people play.

A highlight for young dancers is the JOMBA! Youth Open Horizons at The Stable Theatre on Sunday 3 September at 2pm which features dancers under 16yrs performing works created within local studios from KwaMashu, Umlazi, Clermont, Musgrave, Pietermaritzburg, Lindelani, Chatsworth and Quarry Heights. This event is free and is a beautiful and joyful way to honour youth dance progammes happening in and around our city.

Tickets for Flying Cow are R50 (students, scholars, pensioners).

Yes, really! When our ECD mentors leave a toy bag at a home, it's not just a bag full of toys and books. It comes with home visits, every second week, for a year or two. It comes with mentoring in all the different ways to use each toy so the kids can learn through play. It helps parents/caregivers change their routines to make time to play with and read to their children. 

Every day. Soon, they notice how their children are learning more, talking more. How they are growing closer to each other. So they play more, read more. Their hopes and dreams for their children grow. And as they see how they can play a part in changing their child's future, that hope grows even more.

Rerouting Arts and JOMBA! come back to the Midlands - 2 September at 7pm

For one night only, Midlands audiences will be able to experience international dance artists from Romania and Madagascar, performing right on our doorstep. Presented by Rerouting Arts in partnership with UKZN’s Centre for Creative Arts and its 25th JOMBA! Contemporary Dance Experience, Ramanenjana will be showcased at the St Anne’s College Theatre on Saturday, 2 September at 7pm.

Ramanenjana is a docufiction performance about a dance that made history. In Malagasy, Ramanenjana means something that makes you rigid but also something that makes you strong. Amidst diseases, social unrest, and healing rituals, the show critically discusses several versions of the same mass dance event.

Following several years of research, Ramanenjana examines dance's societal role and how colonialism may have spread misconceptions about an extraordinary movement. Collaborating with ethnomusicologist and musician Olombelo Ricky, choreographers Simona Deaconescu and Gaby Saranouffi, along with three performers, playfully explore the Ramanenjana phenomenon using historical texts, dynamic hand gestures, and ecstatic movement.

This JOMBA! Contemporary Dance Experience is the 25th celebration of this stalwart KZN festival. The curatorial provocation, “(in)tangible heritages” has created space for artists to interrogate dance offerings that negotiate the intersectional personal and political paths that have allowed critical dance makers to arrive at this place.

Tegan Peacock, founder of Rerouting Arts, says, “We feel privileged to again be partnering with JOMBA! Contemporary Dance Experience to bring an evening of dance to Midlands audiences. Hosting visiting artists on our local stomping ground offers a unique opportunity to watch and engage with the global arts scene and experience a world of dance that sometimes seems removed from our daily life."

“This important relationship with Rerouting Arts, now in its second year, allows the festival to reach out to new audiences in a most accessible way,” enthuses Lliane Loots, curator and Artistic Director of JOMBA! “Contemporary dance is often seen as inaccessible to the uninitiated. Then, through engagement, discussion, and the shared experience as an audiences, it opens up new insights to the world. This is exactly what we hope to achieve.”

Ramanenjana will be performed at St Anne’s College Theatre, 50 Hilton Ave, Hilton on 2 September at 7pm.

Tickets for performance are R80 and can be booked in advance through Quicket:

Inkjet or laser? The time for a new printer has arrived, but with so many options to choose from, even the experienced buyer might feel overwhelmed. The first question you must ask yourself, before being distracted by all the fancy features printers come with these days, is whether you want to buy an inkjet printer or a laser printer?

 

 

Firstly, let’s establish the primary difference between an inkjet and a laser printer. An inkjet printer uses spots of liquid ink dropped onto the paper to create a digital image, while a laser printer uses a toner cartridge filled with fine powder that is electrically charged and then bonded to the paper using heat. Knowing how each one works, and what their strengths and weaknesses are, is the first step to deciding which one to buy.

 

 

What will the printer be used for: Inkjet printers are a good choice for the home or small businesses that don’t need to print large quantities. They are also the best choice for printing high-quality images and photographs. The laser printer is best for printing high volume black and white documents.

 

Print quality: While advancements have been made with both types of printer, they are generally considered to have different strengths when it comes to print quality. Inkjet printers are usually the preferred choice when it comes to printing photographs, as the result is better toned and more natural. While laser printers excel in producing perfect, sharp black text and colour graphics.

Print speed and volume: Laser printers are designed to print at a fast rate, producing a high volume of prints, and can print up to seventy pages per minute. Inkjet printers, traditionally, print at a slower rate, however, advancements in technology have seen inkjet printers with the capacity to print as fast as laser printers. Laser printers, however, are quicker to start up and can print immediately, while inkjet printers take longer to get going initially.

 

Cost: Inkjet printers are considered initially as the cheaper option to buy, while laser printers start off at a higher cost, although laser printers are seen to have a longer lifespan. However, the costs continue with the replacement of inks and toners. Ink cartridges in inkjet printers need to be replaced more frequently than toner in laser printers, which can print a significantly larger number of pages. An additional cost that may need to be considered with a laser printer, is replacing the drum unit that transfers the toner powder onto the paper.

 

When making your decision between an inkjet printer and a laser printer, you need to weigh up the pros and cons of each printer. While inkjet printers may be smaller and cheaper, it may not produce sharp quality text documents at high volumes, and the paper trays have lower capacities than laser printers, which could be frustrating for the high volume user. On the other hand, however, laser printers are more expensive but have a lower cost per page, but are not as suitable for printing complex graphics as inkjet printers.

 

The key to deciding which printer to buy lies in its use. Once you’ve decided what you want to use it for and how much you will be printing, your choice will be much easier. Whichever printer you decide to buy, The Inky Shop has you covered when it comes to buying cartridges for your printer. The Inky Shop boasts the finest quality ink and toner cartridges, so make sure to stop by one of our stores, or purchase your cartridges easily online here.

The Sound of Drowning, a compelling, insightful, and gently inspiring short documentary about women and their journey from addiction to recovery, directed by Durban filmmaker, Tami Jacobs is available to view free online on YouTube during Women’s Month.

The film is a quiet homage to the brave journey of eight women from the ages of 19 to 69 years -mothers, daughters, sisters, and aunts - from a variety of backgrounds and cultures, who have found and are living in recovery from active addiction. By amplifying the voices of these resilient women who triumphed over challenges around addiction whether it be alcohol, street drugs, or psychiatric medications, the filmmakers hope to encourage women to step forward and seek help if needed.

Produced by Jacobs and Anél Sherren, an Addictions Counsellor, who also features in the film, The Sound of Drowning offers insights into the transformative power of unity through community that is found within the recovery process and sheds some light on what it takes to get better and what happened to them when they eventually reached out for help.

Jacobs, who is herself an addict in recovery explains what inspired her to create the film: “I lived in active addiction for 15 years before finding recovery and I know from my personal experience that it’s an extremely painful place to be.”

“I was constantly depressed and suicide was a constant risk for me. When I found recovery, together with my sponsor and co-producer Anél, we noticed that the number of women who seek treatment and also manage to stay in recovery is drastically less than the number of men. Anel has a lot of insight into the disease of addiction and we decided that together, we could do something about it. We first wanted to find out why women don’t seek help and next, we wanted to send out a message of hope to any women suffering from the disease of addiction, that there is help available, and there are many people that can support them.”

“The purpose of the documentary was to lift the lid off the stigma women face when attempting to get help for their addiction,” says co-producer Anél Sherren. “There is such disproportion between the number of men and women coming in for help -we wanted to break this view so that women could feel safe asking for help and entering into treatment. We hope that this gentle message from these incredible women in this film will help motivate women to step forward.”
