-
- Documentary
Working steadily for the past decade as a local dancer and theatre performer, Jenna Child has become a master of the in-between. Artists and performers know a lot about living in limbo – the space between gigs can be as brutal a test of the spirit and mind as it is of the piggybank – but this Covid reality is challenging an already super-human equipoise. We chat about Jenna’s dream-come-true career and its unseen realities; we wonder about the future of Cape Town’s fabulous Fugard Theatre, and Jenna tries to answer the question: How do we wait?
