Rehane Abrahams is a multiple award-winning theatre maker, actor and writer on stage and screen, live artist, director, and Fitzmaurice Voicework® teacher.  Her career spans 3 decades and her works are ritualistic and decolonial in nature. She has pursued her singular creative vision in South Africa, the USA, the UK and in Indonesia: training and studying as well as writing, producing, performing, directing solo work and creating theatre companies. She has received grants, commissions and platforms from organisations ranging from the UK’s Millennium Trust (2003) to The University of Malaysia’s Museum of Islamic Art (2008), Setia Darma in Ubud, Bali (2014), International Theatre Festival of Kerala (India), Afrovibes (Netherlands), Constellations and ICA in Cape Town (2023). In the 6 years she lived on Bali, she produced and directed 8 plays with her theatre company, theatre firefly. 

For the NAF Mainstage, she has produced two successful shows; 2005’s Spice Root (which she also wrote and directed) with a cast from Central Java and 2017’s Womb of Fire (which she wrote and performed) that won numerous awards and nominations, touring locally and internationally with The Mothertongue Project which Rehane co-founded in 2000.  

Rehane’s accomplishments as a sought-after actress range from playing the villain, Wendy Newman, for 5 years on a popular SA telenovela, Arendsvlei (Showmax), to her recent (2024) Fleur du Cap winning role as Mercutio in Romeo and Juliet amongst numerous other stage and screen roles. 

In addition to her recently completed PhD (graduating 2025), her ongoing performance training includes Fitzmaurice Voicework® teacher certification (2024), classical Javanese dance Surakarta style at ISI, Institut Seni Indonesia (Art Institute of Indonesia) in Surakarta, Java (2003 -2005), Balinese Dance (Ubud), Butoh with Min Tanaka at The Body Weather Farm, Japan (2001) and a Performer’s Diploma from UCT (1991).
