One hand firmly on the specifics and one hand reaching into the unknown

Ruan Groenewald is a third-year Theatre and Performance student at the University of Cape Town, specialising in Theatre Making. With a background in media and video editing, Ruan escaped the morning traffic and his 9 to 5 job in Johannesburg to pursue his dreams of directing and writing. Here, he developed a keen interest in the technical side of theatre such as stage management. In other words, he sometimes enjoys telling other people what to do.

ARTIST STATEMENT:

One hand firmly on the specifics and one hand reaching into the unknown is an exploration through movement that questions the extent of our free will. A push and pull between what is forced upon us and what we truly desire from life.
