More to say:

I am an actor, lecturer, theatre maker and an applied theatre facilitator. I have worked as an independent contractor across communities in South Africa building awareness and creating dialogue using theatre in addressing socio-political issues in education and both urban and rural community spaces. She has worked this way in fields such as HIV/AIDS, disability, sexual harassment, gender equity, LGBTI rights, human rights and oppression. I consider myself an education enthusiast, and have trained in various performance and applied theatre programmes across South African institutions and communities. I co-direct Drama for Life Playback Theatre, the only accredited school of Playback Theatre in Africa. My practice of Playback Theatre has expanded globally allowing me to work with American consultancy Dailey Innovations Inc. using Playback Theatre (with international company Pangea Playback) to unpack Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in corporate and educational spaces. I serve as a board member on the International Playback Theatre Network (IPTN), representing Africa and I serve the CPT by volunteering my time on the accreditation committee.
