Umbhubhudlo/Indubela

2018: Choreographer, Performer

Presented at the 2018 AFEMS conference

To bury someone means many things to many people. And
in various spaces, funerals are constructed and experienced differently. Flow these spaces are imagined is layered in memory, in trying to understand what it means to occupy liminal spaces like those that exist between life and death. We construct and perform: for ourselves and
for those around us: to heal, to remember, to understand, to transition into a new reality in which the people we have lost are no longer there.

Indubela/Umbhubhudlo is a reflection on, and construction of our memories of burials so we might heal, remember and understand better. Perhaps, also so we might question how the funeral space has been imagined before.

Descent

2021: Stage Manager

Market Theatre Laboratory

Descent is a glamorous, romantic, erotic, picturesque, visceral and grotesque fairytale about the search of an artist that has the opportunity to become the next It Boy – but at a price. The artist finds himself at an audition with a mysterious casting director who seduces him with the possibility of manifesting his dreams. However, he finds himself in a predicament when he comes to realize that the power he is interacting with is a sinister and dangerous figure with the malicious intent of guiding him through terror.

Descent is a tale that subverts ‘goodness’. It is about fear, failure, obsession, and the toll it takes to strive for absolute perfection.
