give contestants a platform to perform on, to nurture and grow the talent, and to provide ongoing platforms and opportunities to work in the industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Being included in the Talent Africa team, Dillan received his Eastern Cape federation colours from the Federation of Performing Arts South Africa (FPASA) for performing arts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He now is a member of FPASA, which offers a fair platform for young artists in the arts that will inspire, grow, mature, stretch and challenge them to achieve their goals and dreams. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dillan, a former learner at Muir College, now at Cape Recife High School in Port Elizabeth, said his interest in modelling was triggered after he won a Mr Cape Recife competition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He will travel to New York on 22nd June to represent South Africa at the Talent America competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Travelling to New York and participating internationally offer the models and artists the opportunity to be scouted for possible international contracts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dillan is mentored by Gail Brown from Sophisticate Models.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>STRUTTING down the catwalk in New York
