Lorin Sookool, Cape Town/South Africa — Jun 13, 2022

Lorin Sookool is an independent South African performer, choreographer and facilitator. With a Bachelor in Music from the University of Cape Town’s School of Dance (2013), professional experience in two local contemporary dance companies (The Playhouse Company in KwaZulu-Natal and The Forgotten Angle Theatre Collaborative in Mpumalanga) and eight years in the performance theatre industry, Sookool has performed both locally and internationally with a number of choreographers including PJ Sabbagha, Mamela Nyamza, Jay Pather, Jessica Nupen, Athena Mazarakis, Lliane Loots, and Sean Bovim.

Having its roots in practice-based research, Sookool’s own performance interests are reaching beyond choreography and into the broader realms of the role and position of the (dance) artist in society – particularly as connected to South Africa’s socio-political contexts.
