Healing the nation through his calling – Tsediso Kabulu
On our ONE ON ONE WITH SANDY, we have Tsediso Kabulu, a choreographer and theatre practitioner.
Tell us about your early life and the schools you attended
Welkom Prep (Primary), Welkom High School and University of the Free State where I obtained a Bachelor of Science Degree in Biology and Statistics – graduated 2012.
What happened after graduating?
I started performing and choreographing at different places, events and venues across the country between 2012 to 2015. I then began touring internationally, I was in the United Kingdom from 2016 to 2017. International tour inspired me to open my own company Makata Kreative Productions in 2017. I was also lucky to have been invited to work in USA as a guest choreographer from 2018-2019.
Why did you choose this career?
It wasn’t a choice as such, but it was me answering to my calling. Performing arts and being a theatre practitioner to me is a spiritual way to bring healing to the globe in various forms. Performing arts is an opportunity to explore, recreate, evolve and reenact situations using different perspectives to drive conversations or to reach a conclusion. It helps me find meaning in life and create engaging works.
Describe your lifestyle, what makes it unique?
I’m a grounded person, who loves exploring, learning and finding similarities within our unique differences as humans. I love socializing and engaging in life-changing conversations. My love for traveling helps me broaden my vision of life, intentional thinking, information processing as I evolve as a human. My spiritual journey helps me navigate my sense of being and who I am. It enables me to make sense of unseen and unexplained things and also love life above materialistic things it offers.
Challenges you face everyday?
Finding centredness with everyday changes and phases. Consistency within all areas of my life and not allowing what happens outside my body and the world to pile-up unnecessary energies that won’t amount to anything good in the end.
How do you overcome them?
Grounding – assuring myself that I belong and that everything happens for a reason and a season. I’m honest to myself and I allow emotions to inspire me to think and not think with my emotions – there’s a huge difference. I meditate if I’m anxious, I journal when I’m overthinking or unclear and I read if I’m burnt out or uninspired.
Your message to a young member of the LGBTQI+ community
Live life in the moment. Accept the things you can’t change about yourself and embrace your unique difference to the next person. Let intention be a big decision – maker in your life and you alone are enough.
