I was born in South Africa and completed my theater studies at The University of Cape Town (UCT).
I have performed at the Market Theatre in JHB and at the Experimental Glass Theatre in Cape Town. I performed the leading role in SOPHIATOWN, Designed by William Kentridge and Directed by Malcolm Purkey, which traveled Europe and USA for many years. It showed at the Chicago Festival, Toronto Festival and Glasgow Festival, as well as in San Fransisco, St. Paul, Montpellier, Nice, London, Paris, Amsterdam, Basil, Frankfurt, Soweto, Johannesburg and Cape Town.
Other Credits include THE DYBBUK and FLIGHT (directed by Barney Simon), SPEED THE PLOW, THE TEMPEST, COWBOY MOUTH, HAMLET, LA RONDE, EXIT THE KING, MAN IS MAN, LOVE STORY IN MAPUTO, CALDEWEY FARCE, TOOTH AND NAIL (Handspring Puppet Company) and THE LULU SEX TRAGEDIES.
THE NEW MODERNIST PLAY, 12 HOUR WILIAM BLAKE, THE DUTCHESS OF MALFI and THE DARK CONTINENT.
I performed in the hit cabaret “KENTUCKY FRIED CHICKIES” at the Black Sun.
My film credits include SHOT DOWN, which won the Mannheim film festival, and THE HOWLING IV.
I am currently based in New York, where I have written and performed the award winning FINDING FELLINI, which won "Best Actress" and "Best Production Design" at United Solo Festival and "Best Solo Show" at the Midtown International Theatre Festival. Finding Fellini has also been performed at La Mama, Theatrelab, The New York Fringe, and Frigid Festival.
In my latest solo show, ElephantWoman, I am exploring sound and vibration, borrowing from the elephants’ own seismic communicative waves to examine the humanity of elephants and the loss of compassion in our culture.
