Hello!

The past few weeks have been both stressful and exciting! I was in rehearsal day and night preparing for our preview performance of Count of Eight Entertainment’s ‘A New Perspective’ in Cape Town on the 4th July as well as the opening which opened in Grahamstown in the 7th July 2009!

After driving for 11 hours we eventually arrived in Grahamstown! We went straight to rehearsal and started advertising for A New Perspective. Our opening night went really well! And all the performers had a great time on stage and the audience loved the show! The next day we were all very excited to read our first review!

“This provocative dance-drama lìves up to its risquè posters. It deals with social ills in urban cultures such as drug use, child abuse and teenage pregnancy. The choreography is immaculate, with polished costume changes. The entire show reads like a theatrical music video and is bound to give you goose bumps.”

I am back home now, and we are preparing for our run of A New Perspective in Cape Town. I will keep you all posted on when and where the show will be running! Hope to see you all there!
I am also in the process of planning my 21st! I can’t wait!

Have a great week!

Peace and Love

 This past few weeks have been hectic! I had a show in Cape Town on Saturday, 29 November and I performed at the Seventeen Magazine Top Teen Achiever’s Awards in Jo’burg on Tuesday, 2 December! Which meant rehearsing with my dancers at Count of Eight every night the previous week as well!

I also taught a heavy class at the Nike Media Launch last Thursday at our studio in Obs. I hope everyone who participated enjoyed it! The class was tiring but I had so much fun and got to meet some awesome people! Also, our company Count of Eight Entertainment hosted open auditions on Saturday, 6 December for singers, dancers, actors, poets and models! The auditions ran all day and it was a big one!

Anyways, I’m off to my next rehearsal! Have a wonderful week everyone!
Peace, Love and Unity
