About

Inge is a South African actor and theatre maker. She has been active in the theatre industry since 2016. Highlights include roles in My Children! My Africa! (dir. Mahlatsi Mokgonyana) and Tweespoor (dir. Juanita Swanepoel) which Inge adapted from the Afrikaans short prose text of the same title by Helena Gunter. She founded private production company Calaringe Productions to produce and manage the project. On debut at the Woordfees festival, Tweespoor received nominations for best theatre production, best director (Juanita Swanepoel), best emerging artist (Inge), and Nicole Holm took home the award for best female lead. The project went on to play at various festivals across South Africa supported by NATi.

Aside from acting and producing, Inge also steps into teaching and directing roles. Upon graduating she completed a yearlong teaching fellowship at NYU, assisting in training second year actors. In the same year, she produced and directed Romeo & Juliet at the Alchemical Theater, NYC. She recently co-directed an adaptation of Paula Vogel’s The Long Christmas Ride Home, and was awarded best director at FEDA 2024.

She holds a BFA with honors in theatre from New York University and is currently pursuing an MA Theatre Lab at The Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London.

"I act because I feel a responsibility to speak. I speak for mostly imaginary people who, if they lived in the real world, would not get up on a platform and speak for themselves – and if they did, would not have an audience full of strangers who all agreed to be there and listen.  I am interested in making theatre that communicates something about people, for people, through people - that we may know ourselves only ever more."
