Good day to all, I'm Sandy Nokuthula Vlandir. I've completed a degree at Rhodes University in South Africa. I studied a Bachelors of Arts, I majored in Psychology, Ethnomusicology and Drama (specializing in Directing, Acting, Choreography, Physical Theatre and Physical and Visual theatre). I'm new to the industry but ain't shy to take risks whilst honing my skill in the industry. I'm currently based in South Africa - Grahamastown. I've received the Rhodes Scholarship within my Second year of university. In my works, I've directed and choreographed a number of works such as "Tshepang: the Third Testament" by Lara Foot-Newton, "Heartbreak Medea" written by Mike van Graan and "The Dumb Waiter" written by Harold Pinter. Work I've choreographed is "God's Awakening" and "living in Sacrifice". I'm looking to directing new works next year namely "Memoirs of a Broken Heart" and "Assassin" (Check out the Stage32 -loglines). Two of my works namely, Tshepang and Gods awakening, are up on Youtube. Feel free to check, here is the link : https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCiRVrnarg76_nslNMwz9C2Q . My Motto in life is : " The biggest risk is not taking any risk... In a world that changing really quickly, the only strategy that is guaranteed to fail is not taking risks." -Mark Zuckerburg

Congratulations on receiving the Rhodes Scholarship, what an honor! Your passion for creativity is evident and we are glad to have you in the community. There is an active group of Stage 32ers from South Africa- maybe you can try putting together a Stage 32 meetup to take some networking offline, too! https://www.stage32.com/meetups
