I’m a South African–German interdisciplinary artist and facilitator working across theatre, poetry, and storytelling. My work has been platformed at the Barbican Centre, Southbank Centre, British Academy, Westminster Abbey, Translationale Berlin, Poetry Africa, and the National Arts Festival (Ovation Award, 2019). I have been a member of Projekt Europa: Projekt Empower cohort 2025, Barbican Young Poets (’24 & ’25), Camden People’s Theatre Starting Blocks 2025, and High Rise New Gens 2024. 

My academic journey was supported by the Oppenheimer Memorial Trust and Cecil Renaud Educational & Charitable Trust Scholarships, funding my MA in Performance Making at Goldsmiths, University of London (Distinction).

Rooted in Call and Response of the South African storytelling tradition that raised me , my practice explores how performance can foster dialogue and connection across borders of language, culture and geography. I create in English shaped by Zulu, Xhosa, and German, drawing on inheritance and “in-betweenity” as a generative space for exploring belonging and memory. My performances often combine poetic text, live storytelling, and embodied action, treating the body as an archive of story at the intersections between personal and cultural histories. I apply these principles across all my creative projects, from theatre productions to poetry performances, workshops, and teaching.

My practice extends into facilitation, where I lead Call & Response workshops that integrate storytelling, poetry, and collaborative creativity. These workshops are adaptable for commissions and have been hosted by institutions such as Whitechapel Gallery, Goldsmiths University and the Barbican.

Current projects include Holding Ground, a performance work rooted in family archives and homemaking practices drawn from maternal lineages, integrating Blaudruck and beadwork research as acts of remembrance and making home.  To Live on the Tongue is an interdisciplinary poetic collection in development, building upon this research of oral and material heritage as language and form.
