WRITER AND DIRECTOR | Ayanda Ka Nobakabonwa
In all walks of life, I believe, for a complete communication of an idea, nothing surpasses a dramatic representation of that idea you want to convey. For years I have been involved with community theatre and in 2014 I went to MAGNET THEATRE to oil my skill in theatre making. Today I can proudly say that I am a developing writer, growing actor, and passionate shadow puppeteer.
