The Page to Podiumworkshop series is the brainchild of poet, writer, and performer, Siphokazi Jonas, who is based in Cape Town. Siphokazi holds a Masters Degree in English Literature and a BA degree in English and Drama from the University of Cape Town. She has eight years of experience as an English tutor and Teaching Assistant at the same institution. Her work as a performance poet has allowed her to travel across South Africa and as far afield as Los Angeles, California and Gainesville, Florida, USA. It is really her passion for unpacking the sheer humanity in us all, as well guiding the writer to think like both the reader and audience, which sets Page to Podiumapart. Her wholehearted approach inspires hope and creativity in all who encounter her teaching.
