SHOWMAX TO HOST MASTERCLASSES The streaming platform and Actor Spaces have partnered up to open up the industry. This is being done with masterclasses coming to YouTube every second Thursday from August into October 2022.
Each masterclass will be followed within a week by an Instagram Live for aspiring actors to ask the featured speaker follow-up questions.
Our Showmax Originals have shown that whenever you go looking for talent in South Africa, you find it, said Nomsa Philiso, executive head: programming at MultiChoice.
But while acting is a talent, it's also a skill that can be refined, and a business that must be learnt. So we're excited to be partnering on these masterclasses with Actor Spaces and some of Mzansi's favourite talents in front of the camera and behind it, to help develop the next Bonko Khozas and Bokang Phelanes, she continued.
