Actor, playwright, and educator @billyplcom creates a new work through an old work as he re-examines the process of making as a performance in and of itself. Award winning #Tswalo is imagined anew. #ICAOnline #ICAFellow ow.ly/hFVZ50CzF3U

The latest edition of Tswalo with a foreword by Nondumiso Msimang is still available for purchase. Book: R150 Delivery: R100 [email protected]
Tswalo combines ritual, physical storytelling and heightened text to create new distinct theatrical language as a way of reconstructing and deconstructing the orthodox and the traditional chronology of telling stories.

I want the Black Actor to shine. Always. Not in an easy way, but in a remarkable manner. I want the Black Actor to make incredible choices. To be a stunning master. For this, the Black Actor needs the Black Writer who cares about the Black Experience. Yes. Black, as in Race. JB!

Making Plays. Creating Theatre. Mounting Productions. So many people take that for granted. I sometimes wish I was as flippant (not really). I care. So much. About everything. Every last detail. That is why it's so hard for me to respect amagwala. I can't. I've seen too much. JB!
