Locals eye globetrotter status

A group of 26 youths from Bloemfontein, aspiring to pursue careers as actors, singers, dancers, and models made it through to the next leg of this year’s International ARTS Talent Showcase (IATS).

They all received callbacks in their respective categories after impressing judges during auditions held at the University of the Free State (UFS) in Bloemfontein on 16 March.

Among those advancing are Lotho Dala, Shaniell Senosky, Loghan Landman and Zoey van Heerden.

These hopefuls will also participate in an industry-related workshop and will have the opportunity to be part of the IATS’ mentorship programme, which aims at perfecting participants’ skills to audition in front of international talent scouts in Johannesburg later this year.

The national leg of the talent search auditions will bring together industry professionals, casting directors, and agents from around the world.
