About Ross-Junior
My name is Ross-Junior Sbusiso Hlongwane, and I’m excited to be your facilitator. I’m a passionate theater practitioner, actor, writer, and director originally from KwaZulu-Natal, now based in Johannesburg. I specialize in Acting and Physical Theater, and I’m deeply committed to using performance as a tool for expression, learning, and social change. I hold both a National Diploma and an Advanced Diploma in Performing Arts from the Tshwane University of Technology, graduating with distinction (Cum Laude). My academic journey taught me the value of discipline, creativity, and collaboration—principles I bring into every learning space I enter. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with respected institutions such as Drama for Life, Actor Spaces, and TUT, where I served as a student tutor in African Performance Studies. I’ve also performed in a wide range of theater and screen productions, and taken on roles behind the scenes as a lighting technician, choreographer, theater manager, and project coordinator. This has given me a holistic understanding of performance from concept to execution. In our time together, I aim to create a space that is engaging, respectful, and inspiring. I believe in learning by doing—and I’ll encourage you to challenge yourself, explore your potential, and grow both as artists and individuals. Above all, I am here to support you. Whether you're stepping on stage for the first time or refining your craft, know that I see your potential, and I’m committed to helping you succeed. Let’s create, learn, and grow—together. Warm regards, Ross-Junior Hlongwane Educator | Theater Practitioner | Director

As a versatile theater practitioner and cum laude graduate in Performing Arts, my approach to tutoring is rooted in creativity, collaboration, and personal growth. I offer private classes in acting, performance techniques, physical theater, voice work, script analysis, and production management, tailored to each student’s goals and level of experience. My methodology blends practical training with theoretical insight, encouraging students to explore their artistic identity while mastering foundational skills. Drawing from my diverse experience as a performer, tutor, and facilitator, I create a dynamic, safe space where learners are challenged, inspired, and supported. I am proficient in English & isiZulu and I can teach comfortably in any of these languages. A typical lesson with me is interactive and process-driven, often including warm-ups, performance exercises, scene work, critical reflection, and goal-setting. I adapt each session to suit the student's needs—whether they’re beginners, drama students, emerging artists, or professionals preparing for roles or auditions. These lessons are ideal for: * High school learners and drama students * University-level performing arts students * Emerging or independent theater makers * Anyone passionate about performance, looking to grow artistically or professionally Together, we’ll unlock your full creative potential—on stage, on screen, or behind the scenes.
