Innovative dance event heads to Durban

Phomolongtrain-Station

A momentous event for dance practitioners will be taking place in Durban next week.. Marking the dawn of its 20th Anniversary, The Floating Outfit Project will present Phomolongtrain-Station from March 21 to 27.

This convergence of four global projects is the culmination of a two-year process of creative, interrogative collaboration with local dance makers, continental counterparts, networks of International presenters, artists, festivals, theatre and spaces.

An exciting prospect for Durban is the presence of the Shared Spaces Network. This is a network of art practitioners, theatre and festival presenters who come from as afield as Switzerland, Portugal, Germany, Slovenia, etc. They will spend the week witnessing, engaging and exchanging with the artists, as well as visiting local spaces of artistic practice.

Criticality and necessity connect Durban and Kisangani in the vital, Redefining… Home-work project. This continental exchange project is initiated and co-produced by the DRC’s Studios Kabako and The Floating Outfit Project, under the mentorship of Faustin Linyekula and Boyzie Cekwana.

The non-ticketed public showings for Redefining… Home-work will be at the Beer Hall, the Pump House and the KZNSA Gallery in Durban.
