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).
* Singing / soiree's.
Upcoming Workshops & Shows (2026):
Love & the Lawless to Maris Stella School on Saturday, 20 June!
One of the joys of this show is that every audience helps shape the journey. We never quite know where the stories, songs and improvisation might lead us — and that's half the fun.
We're especially delighted that this performance is a fundraiser for Amy Aaron, who has been selected for the South African U18 Women's Water Polo Team. Amy is the only player from KZN who will represent South Africa at the World Championships in Spain — what an extraordinary honour!
So do come along and support a remarkable young sportswoman while enjoying an evening of music, laughter, Wild West tales and a little lawless mischief. Everyone is welcome, whether you're affiliated with Maris Stella or not.
Saturday, 20 June at 6pm
Maris Stella School, Durban
R200 per person
Bring your own supper and favourite bottle, don your cowboy hat if the mood takes you, and join us for a memorable evening.
