Description

I am a very versatile dancer having trained in various styles such as ballet, modern, tap, hip hop, jazz, contemporary and musical theatre. I am always eager to learn new styles and different movement vocabularies as well as new tricks and acts. I work hard and have a great focus on improving my craft whether on or off the job.

Biography

While I now reside in Cape Town, I am originally from a sheep farm in the Eastern Cape. I spent most of my days playing outside and learning the ins and out of farm life. I attended boarding school for 12 years in Bloemfontein where I also began dancing. I then moved after school to study film and media at the University of Cape Town. I specialised in screen production and minored in english literature all while working as a freelance artist in the industry. I signed with Cover Model Management as agents to help represent me and started working as a model, actress and dancer. This gave me the ... opportunity to work in print, film as well as on stage and the chance to travel. Since graduating, I have worked as a producer on various short films, a production assistant and cast coordinator as well as a freelance photographer. I have also obtained a short course in events management as it has always been a passion of mine and ties in well with film production. I am currently at a place where I would like to travel and work, learn new skills, work with talented people and learn from them. While currently based in Cape Town, I'd like to work abroad as much as possible. Read More
