ShakeXperince: Lali educating through drama.

The founder of Nobulali Productions , Lali Dangazele, started the organisation in 2008 out of increasing requests for her to host team learning workshops in organisations and academic workshops in schools. It is through these initial workshops that Lali developed and piloted some of the products that her business now offers.

Lali Dangazele received her formal education at the University of the Witwatersrand, where she attained a Master’s Degree in Dramatic arts. She specialised in Drama in Education as well as Theatre for Development. Her Research report’s focal point was the use of Image Theatre Organisations. Through working with the participants from varying organisations, she established a method that assists organisations in enhancing dialogue and team learning. In the Education, Training and Development arena, Lali has worked for organisations such as Mother Tongue, where she co-facilitated in their workshops.

As such, she assisted in developing a creative expression of the client’s corporate values. She was recently commissioned by Wits University to direct an interactive adaptation of Othello, which toured schoolsand provided a creative way of understanding and excelling in Shakespeare. Lali’s community participation is something that she hold dear. She has works in schools mostly to educate, train and develop learners through drama. She has worked at the Sizwille School for the deaf where she developed asix week self awareness course for the grade eleven learners. She has also collaborated with Mondeor High School, where she developed and interactive, five-day workshop with the learners and together created what Nobulali Productions now refers to as the ShakeXperince™ workshops and camps.
