New reality TV show creates platform for Lowveld artists
‘Our objective is to inspire and equip young creatives in our country to step up and own their purpose’
MBOMBELA - The director of the 33 and Me Talent Agency, Elsubie Verlinden, has spent the better half of her long-standing career helping others to achieve their dreams by working closely with actors, singers, models, dancers and voice-over artists, developing their skills in their separate faculties.
In doing so, Verlinden has secured her own television show, titled Live
Your Dream, set to launch in July. The show will host numerous workshops and educational training sessions alongside live screenings of the company’s annual auditions for the International ARTS Talent Showcase (IATS).
Every year, IATS gives local entertainers a platform to showcase their talent to top international talent scouts from across the globe, bridging the gap between Africa and the world.
Lowvelders will have an opportunity to audition for IATS on June 19 at the Volle Evangelie Kerk Nelspruit.
The aim is to inspire young, new and aspiring talent to live out their own unique dreams.
Verlinden explained. “In short, the programme will be insightful, educational and inspirational. It will share the stories of hopeless dreamers that become victorious doers with the guided help of 33 and Me Talent Agency. Through years of experience, we have created platforms where creatives can launch their career paths both locally and internationally.”
Live Your Dream will run hand in hand with Be Your Dream on ViaTV Channel 147.
