playwright

I first got exposed to creating plays in Ballymun, Ireland with the Ray Yates production Hip-Nos. I have since written and performed in award winning plays like Afrikaaps, which is a play about the black history of the language that was created in Cape Town and co-opted by the Afrikaner community as a key part of their white supremacist, nationalist project The language’s origins expose the mixed heritage of the community that created it. Other plays I have been a part of creating are  Ons Bou / We Build  (which is about land reclamation for the First Nation people of Southern Africa),  Mixing It Up  (whch is an attempt to blend traditional South African dance styles and traditional music with Hip Hop Culture),  Break  (is the blending of these traditional music and styles into a story about finding identity as a Hip Hop dancer in Cape Town),  Stompie  (is the journey of reawakening to ones purpose and heritage & Die Riel van Hip Hop.
