About me
I have always been fascinated and interested in the arts and performance. I could never really see myself doing anything that didn't involve a level of creativity. Throughout my high school years I developed my writing and performance skills to the point of going into university to study live performance and motion picture. I studied at AFDA Cape Town where I majored in live performance with minors in directing, writing, production design and costume, makeup and styling. After earning my honours degree I pursued further learning whilst I worked on amdram and student productions to broaden my resume. I earned an ATCL in Speech and Drama which allows me, now, to teach the aforementioned subjects in either schools or workshops. Beyond that I have worked in professional environments on sets such as Ice; season 2, American Monster 3 and Kings and Prophets - and stage productions such as Rent where I performed as Roger, Whodunnit! as Perkins and the antagonist of Gaslight.I have and always will continue to learn and approach every set and workshop with an open mind and an eagerness to learn.
I have a keen interest in stage productions as the immediate gratification of hearing an audience response is something unforgettable, however the silver screen also has its perks and a definite love behind it.
Additional skills:
Voice acting, singing, guitar, accents, stunt training, speech and drama teacher with ATCL qualification, horse riding, swimming, fencing, special effects makeup, improv, Meisner technique, method technique, laban movement.
Additional information:
I am an actor, model and musician from South Africa who has recently moved to New York.
