I am a South African/French actress who has performed in 14 international productions of classical and contemporary theatre, 11 as a lead character, seen by over 25 000 children and adults.

 

I grew up surrounded by books, nature, animals and art. I have 20 years horse-riding experience along with a varied dancing career from ballet classes in the church hall to competing in Latin American and Ballroom dancing. I grew up learning French, Afrikaans, and Zulu and now speak fluent Spanish. I have travelled extensively and now live between London, Madrid and Johannesburg.

 

I recently filmed my first role in a feature film in Spain, shot and produced my own short film in London, wrote a Spanish Zoom-short scene and did my first voice-over for a cocktails commercial in Johannesburg. I am cultivating a creative and open community through the Familia de cine, founded by acclaimed actress Assumpta Serna and actor Scott Cleverdon based in Spain.

 

Among my hidden talents I am a seamstress of 1950’s style clothing, I can spin fire fans and steer a narrowboat, perform Olympic-level dressage moves, learn a Shakespearean sonnet in an hour, and cook the perfect Spanish albondigas.
