Born and bred in Namibia with a passion for performance.
Sven-Eric pursued a formal education
in theatre at The Waterfront Theatre School in 2009-2012.
He spent 2011 to 2019 in the Professional South African theatre industry, with a short stint in
Australia and an odd trip to Namibia for teaching and performing.
During his professional theatre
career, Sven-Eric spent five years (2011-2016) with a contemporary ballet Company, Bovim
Ballet, rising through the ranks from apprentice to the Principal.
In 2014, he moved on to Musical Theatre, where he did The Rocky Horror Show (2014), Cabaret
(2015), West Side Story (2015/16/17), Joseph (2016) and Funny Girl (2017), gaining buckets of
knowledge and experience in theatre practices.
In 2018, he shifted gears and entered the
creation space by choreographing and directing his second contemporary ballet, Aivilo (2018).
He was the resident choreographer for Gate69 (cabaret theatre) in Cape Town for five years
(2016-2021).
The pandemic moved him back to his home in Namibia, where he created various
performances part-time while running his dance and exercise studio Oh Shift full-time.
After four years back in Namibia, Sven-Eric is back in Cape Town with SBAM as his Agent in
Cape Town.
