| Internationally renowned, multi award-winning artist Sheela Langeberg is one of the most influential and written about Africans in Australia today, as well as one of its most prized artistic and cultural treasures.
Born, raised and educated in Kilimanjaro, Tanzania, with additional studies in Scandinavia, she now makes Adelaide her home and the new center of her worldwide creative ventures.
Sheela has written, composed and produced five music albums, a book, 62 stage productions for all ages, and has toured around the globe. Her vibrant, captivating performances are the reason that she's continually adding new venues to her already frequent repeat appearances, year after year.
Sheela's creativity is matched only by her inexhaustible on-stage energy, as she often tours with 2-3 productions at one time. Intertwined with her demanding performance schedule, Sheela conducts immensely popular dance/drama workshops, using her own deep and unique writing style. | |
