WRITE OUT LOUD

 "A quick passion rant... I come from South Africa from the Afrikaaners who created and implemented apartheid. I grew up in silences amongst people with deep seated hatred. My story is about how silence cycles hatred, and how our stories are connected. Ubuntu. What affects you, affects me. I've worked with people to create spaces for them to tell their stories - mostly in Springfield, South Africa, and East Africa. Most recently I've been focusing my work with white people to push through that silence barrier that keeps coming up... But I am also really stepping into my own performance work as a parallel vehicle for voice. We've got to do this with ourselves when we do it with others!"
