HI Everyone It has been a while since I have written news on Clare Anderson Talent Agency. Here are highlights from last year to January 2024. BOETIE BOERA big highlight last year was RAVEN SWART being booked on the Showmax doccie series, Boetie Boer. This series told the true life story of Port Elizabeth serial killer, Stephen Wilkins. This killer terroised Port Elizabeth in the 90s killing street kids, prostitues and even his own daughter. Raven found it a challenge getting inside the mind of a killer but he pulled the role off flawlsesly. Other actors in the agency that were on the show included REINE SCHEEPERS and MAC- KAYLEN JOHNSON. 48 HOURS FILM FESTIn September myself with MARILIZE DU PLESSIS, CHANEL KATZ, RETIEF LOUBSER, LIKHWEZI BILIYA , UNATHI SABISWA, ROSS MARSHALL , ALEX SILBERBAUER, KARLA JOUBERT , AMIR GORDON and BATHINI once again entered the 48 Film Festival and made a film in 48 hours. We did not get any nominations this year (2023) but still had lots of fun on set. We look forward to doing another film this year. SLAYShane John Kruger is a stunt actor / actor in my agency and he booked a lovely role on the vampire slasher film , Slay in December 2023. He had a number of calls and had a great time on set. He is currently doing G20. COMMERCIALSA number of actors in the agency booked roles in Commercials last year (2023) with PETER GILCHIRST, JONATHAN KONGO, MAC-KAYLEN JOHNSON , JONATHAN KAMONGA , AMIR GORDON, ABDUL TCHOFERON and TUDOR GRIMBLY getting the most bookings. WORKSHOPSBesides bookings and finding work for actors in the agency. i also like to tell my actors about workshops happening that I feel can benefit them. I was trying to hold workshops but there was not much interest. SHELLEY LOTHIAN is a casting director and she very kindly put on a accent workshop for some actors in the agency. It was a very insightful and informative morning and I look forward to doing more workshops with her. We also had an improvisation and another accent workshop last year. SOCIALSSocials were not as well atteneded as I had hoped for but I had a lovely picnic in De Waal Park with RETIEF LOUBSER, CERIDWEN MORRIS, SASKIA RIJKE, etc. Socials are a way for me to see the actors and catch up with them as well as a way for the actors in the agency to see each other. January has been a busy month so far and I look forward to seeing what the rest of the year brings. x Clare

AGENCY HIGHLIGHTS  FROM JUNE 2023 TO JAN 2024

Hi Everyone&nbsp;This is the first news letter of Clare Anderson Agency. There have been some exciting things happening in the agency this month. Read on for news. WEBSITEThe Agency Website finally went live this month. I am so excited to hear your feedback on the website. It took a while for me to find a good web designer but thanks to Hendrie and John from Mainboard who have designed a lovely site. WORKSHOPS AND EVENTSI try and organise monthly workshops for actors in the agency. This month we are doing improvisation classes in De Waal Park on weekends. The first one was on 7 May and twelve actors from the agency joined and had a lot of fun playing the improv games I taught them and also networking with each other. The next improv class will be on 27 May. The Improv workshop is free for the actors and allows them to network and learn how to think on the spot , how to have fun and let go and how to work with a scene partner. Improvistion is a great tool for all actors both new actors and the experienced ones. This month is my agencies 2nd Birthday.&nbsp; I cannot believe the agency has been going for 2 years. I have organised two socials this month for the talent. The first one was on 15 May at Bekoh Creative Lounge in Sea Point.
