SOUTH PACIFIC: MUSICAL THEATRE HER PASSION

A
resident from Jagtershof can currently be seen in the musical South Pacific at the Artscape Opera House. Although Kaylene Hendricks (26) has a full-time job, on stage is where she wants to be. Kaylene who works as a sport and event organiser at the Western Province Cricket Club is also a soprano singer who loves musicals. She says her love for theatre started when she was cast as Maria in De Kuilen High School’s production of West Side Story. “The journey I went on back then made me want to pursue musical theatre as a career.” Her mother convinced her to rather study something that will offer more job security. “She was right because pursuing a career in the performing arts is extremely difficult for many people,” says Kaylene. However, she still dreams of getting to a point where performing can be her main focus and career. “I just need the right platform to let go of my comfort zone and follow my dreams.’’ After she matriculated from De Kuilen in 2011 she went on to study sport management at the University of Western Cape (UWC). She says she did not enjoy it at first as it wasn’t her passion. She did an internship with the Stormers which she enjoyed, and once she started dealing more with people it grew on her, she says. She has been doing singing gigs and parttime theatre productions all along. Asked about any weird moments on stage, she says she once did a full scene with her dress zipped open at the back, “with bra exposed and everything, without realising it’’. She admits it can be quite tiring to work fulltime and perform on stage, but luckily her boss is understanding. Last year she played a bridesmaid called Ruth in the Gilbert and Sullivan comic opera, Ruddigore. Her dream role is that of Christine from Phantom of the Opera. Her character in South Pacific, Liat, however, does not sing at all and speaks very little. ‘‘It forces me to use physical gestures to express my emotions – which I quite enjoy doing for a change.”
