The 2022 LDIF theme is “In situ: responding space, place, people and time”, and is a blended festival that offers both live and digital performance engagements.

The theme sets up the festival to go back to both performances spaces but also the everyday space that we have been inhabiting over the past two years of covid lockdown.

Brookes says, “All of us have been dancing; in our kitchen and in our bedrooms and this festival celebrates these everyday sites of possibilities as we move our bodies”.

LDIF2022 will be presenting the full 2021 Jomba! Digital Edge bouquet of films created by six of Durban’s most compelling young dancer makers and includes short dance films from Thobile Maphanga, Sabelo Cele, Cameron Govender, Cue Ngema, Snethemba Khuzwayo and Aphelele Nyawoso.

Jomba! is delighted that these amazing short films garnered such acclaim at the Jomba! 2021 festival and that they will have a longer life on this incredible international dance platform.

LDIF2022 takes place from 29 April to 8 May. For more information, please go here.
