ZIP ZAP CIRCUS
Project Consultant & New Business
Zip Zap was born 29 years ago from a simple dream, a trapeze bar in a tree, a costume box and a rusty car. Established by South African born Brent van Rensburg and his French wife, Laurence Estève, their dream was to use the circus as a tool to bridge socio-economic gaps and to inspire and empower young people to build a new culture of peaceful co-existence in South Africa, inspired by the late Nelson Mandela. Daniel works alongside Laurence and Brent, and the Zip Zap Team, on various projects and ideas!

THE TSIKINYA-CHAKA CENTRE
Associate
Daniel proudly joined the Wits-based Centre as an affiliate from March to December 2021. The Tsikinya-Chaka Centre is a Research Unit in the School of Literature, Language and Media at the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, South Africa. Building on a significant but often-neglected history of translating Shakespeare’s plays into African languages, the TCC seeks to promote scholarship, teaching and performance that engages with Shakespeare as a multilingual phenomenon. This focus is complemented by an emphasis on transnationalism: understanding Shakespearean histories and contemporary practices in different national contexts around the world by situating Shakespeare outside of limited ‘English’ paradigms (and vice versa).
THE COLLEGE OF MAGIC
Interim CEO from 1 May to 31 October 2021
Founded in 1980 by the remarkable David Gore, The College of Magic is first and foremost a unique place of contemporary education for young people. We believe that every child is different; that every child is creative and has an innate sense of curiosity and wonder. We’ve shaped our curriculum around this ethos, and our staff is dedicated to helping each learner find and develop their unique passions and talents.
The College of Magic is also a place where youngsters from every walk of life come together; a true reflection of our rainbow nation. They are brought together by the enchanting and multi-faceted art of ‘magic theatre’, where learning is fun, life skills are nurtured, and where little imaginations are set free. All of this is our recipe for captivating, empowering and transforming young lives.
