Acting and Performing: A Passion and Skill

# data[].attributes.body
Being a trained actor and performer is more than just a skill for me; it's a passion that drives my creativity and expression. Whether it's on stage or in front of a camera, I thrive on the opportunity to bring characters to life and evoke emotions in audiences. With years of training and experience, I have honed my craft to deliver captivating performances that resonate with viewers. From theatre productions to film projects, I embrace every opportunity to immerse myself in the world of storytelling and bring narratives to vivid reality. Acting isn't just what I do; it's who I am—a dedicated performer committed to leaving a lasting impression through the power of the performing arts.

I have a strong background in Early Childhood Development (ECD). One of my notable experiences includes performing environmental educational puppet shows at the Two Oceans Aquarium in Cape Town. This role allowed me to creatively teach children about marine life and environmental conservation in an interactive and memorable manner.

One of the Two Oceans Aquarium Foundation's most beloved ventures is and will always be our entertaining and informative mobile puppet shows. As the epitome of "edutainment", the mobile puppet shows are constantly on the go, visiting primary schools, ECD centres, hospitals, and many other institutions, to deliver valuable lessons to kids all over the Cape.

"We focus on early childhood development, mostly from grade R, up until Grade 3, and we would like to create awareness and teach kids the importance of the ocean and why we need it and need to look after it", said Jerome Stationway, a member of the puppet show team.

Our mobile puppet show team, with the support of Consol Glass, recently visited Impendulo Primary School to display their popular "Keep the Beach Clean" show. This show, like many of the others, was aimed at teaching the kids the importance of ocean conservation in a fun and exciting way. It also focuses on changing the behaviour of these kids at a very young age, by encouraging the use of reusable bags and discouraging litter and plastic pollution.

In addition to this exciting experience, the kids were also given a book, which ensures a lasting effect after they receive their lesson and the wonderful puppet show. In this case, thanks to Consol Glass, the kids were also given amazing reusable drinking bottles as a parting gift, which they were quite thrilled about!

To add to the fun, the puppet show team also provides an educational game in which the kids participate in a mobile beach clean-up, which is not only loads of fun, but also teaches the kids the importance of keeping our beaches clean and free of contaminating materials.

The mobile puppet show team and the characters they bring along are guaranteed to engage with, entertain, and educate whoever they come into contact with. The puppet shows are done in English, Afrikaans and IsiXhosa, so it's fit for all! If you'd like our mobile puppet show to visit your school, click here to make your booking!

My speciality is in Natural Sciences. I chose this field because it is fundamental to understanding our environment and how we interact with it. Natural sciences cover a broad range of topics, from biology and chemistry to earth science and physics, all of which are crucial for a well-rounded education.

For my teaching practice at Eversdal Primary School, I focused on instilling respect and empathy values in Grade 4 learners. In a 35-minute session, I emphasized the importance of understanding others' perspectives. The lesson included an introduction to respect and empathy, group discussions on respectful behavior, and role-playing activities to practice empathy skills. Learners shared their experiences during reflection time, reinforcing the lesson's main messages. By the end, they gained a deeper understanding of how respect and empathy contribute to positive relationships and learning environments.
