Welcome and thank you for dipping into my site.

Qualifications - Art history & English - Unisa 1995.

Speech & Drama Licentuate - LTSD (Cum laude) - 2009. 

I am based on the beautiful KwaZulu Natal South Coast and have been involved in a cross section of the Arts – and especially theater & singing - from the age of twelve-ish. Perhaps a bit earlier if you count leaping out from behind the couch and doing some wayward ballet moves for my surprised & beloved parents... elaborate moves taught to me by my older sister who was determined that she was the teacher and I the pupil.

I studied English and History of Art and received my Speech & Drama Licentiate (Cum laude).

I love telling stories - I love listening to a story well told - we all do I think. Storytelling is as old as mankind - Herman Charles Bosman's stories and Shakespeare's stories are among my most favourites - both literary genii as relevant today as they were when they were written.

My passion for theater has taken me on a multitude of paths - and these are some of them that I am presently involved in:

* 1 & 2 man shows - across towns/dorps and festivals countrywide. (Please see 'Upcoming shows' page).

* Workshops - from 2 hour sessions - to a full day in: public speaking, poetry, improvisation, body language, public reading, mime & movement and voice production. Excellent for any person or group wanting to improve on communication (sales, teaching etc).

Upcoming Shows (2024):

'Bosman Under the Stars'
