\u2019n Worcesteriet verskyn tans in \u2019n toneelstuk, Die lig is blou<\/i>, in die Artscape-teater, waarin hy die hoofrol vertolk. <\/p>\n
Chester Miggels, \u2019n oudleerder van HTS Drostdy, was vir vier jaar \u2019n onderwyser voordat hy die besluit geneem het om sy droom te volg.<\/p>\n
\u201cEk is nog altyd gefassineer deur toneelspel en die kuns van verskillende scenario\u2019s uitspeel, maar my lewe het eers \u2019n ander draai geneem. N\u00e1 skool het ek onderwys gaan studeer en vier jaar in hierdie beroep gewerk.\u201d <\/p>\n
Hy was \u2019n onderwyser by \u2019n laerskool in Grabouw, maar het altyd gevoel sy loopbaankeuse vervul hom nie.<\/p>\n
\u201cEk het altyd gevoel asof iets in my lewe ontbreek. My werk het my baie besig gehou en ek het nie tyd of plek vir kreatiwiteit gehad nie; ek het gevoel my werk beperk dit,\u201d verduidelik Miggels.<\/p>\n
Hy het toe die besluit geneem om by sy werk te bedank en om weer voltyds te gaan studeer.<\/p>\n
\u201cEk het toe die geloofsprong geneem, bedank en myself ingeskryf om voltyds toneelkuns te studeer. Ek het ook besluit dat ek voltyds by die bedryf betrokke wil wees. Ek het onlangs ook Kaap toe getrek net om nader aan die hub<\/i> van die bedryf te wees.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hy erken dinge het soms moeilik geraak voordat hy sy finale besluite geneem het, \u201cmaar ek het geweet dis wat ek wou doen en my werk het my nie die kans gegee om daardie droom voluit te leef nie.\u201d <\/p>\n
Hy het by \u2019n hele paar instansies aansoek gedoen en is nie aanvaar nie.<\/p>\n
\u201cEk het toe eendag Kaap toe gegaan om nog ander plekke te gaan besoek nadat ek nog navorsing gedoen het. Northlink Kollege was een van die plekke wat ek daardie dag besoek het, ek het ook vir hulle \u2019n oudisie gedoen. Ek het dadelik net gevoel dit is waar ek hoort.\u201d <\/p>\n
Deur middel van sy kursus en die geleenthede wat dit bied, was Miggels al in verskeie ander toneelstukke en hy was selfs al in \u2019n kortfilm, maar hierdie is sy heel eerste keer as die hoofakteur van \u2019n stuk.<\/p>\n
\u201cDit is vir my so amazing<\/i> en \u2019n great<\/i> geleentheid. Ek het al voorheen kleiner rolle vertolk in toneelstukke wat by die Artscape opgevoer is, maar nou vertolk ek skielik die hoofrol. En om ook nog die verhoog met \u2019n bekroonde aktrise, Crystal Donna Roberts, te deel, is ongelooflik. Dinge raak soms \u2019n bietjie oorweldigend, maar dan herinner ek net myself dat ek \u2019n oudisie hiervoor gedoen het en dit verdien om hier te wees.\u201d <\/p>\n
Hy is baie opgewonde oor die toneelstuk, Die lig is blou, <\/i>wat van 20 tot 25 Junie by die Artscape te sien is.<\/p>\n
\u201cEk is baie opgewonde \u2013 \u00e9n senuweeagtig. Maar die senuwees is goed; dit help met die show<\/i>. Ek is net so gese\u00ebnd om hier te wees.\u201d <\/p>\n
Die toneelstuk handel oor die trauma wat daarmee gepaard gaan om \u2019n gay kind te wees, die soort boeliegedrag wat hulle moet deurmaak en hoe dit vir \u2019n gay kind is om in sy ouerhuis groot te word. <\/p>\n
\u201cDie storie is belangrik en relevant \u2013 veral omdat dit Jeug-maand is en boonop Pride-maand ook \u2013 en ek dink dis belangrik vir die jeug en grootmense om dit te sien.\u201d <\/p>\n
In die toekoms wil Miggels meer in die w\u00eareld van film en TV invaar om sy ervaring uit te brei. <\/p>\n
\u201cEk wil graag in musicals <\/i>wees, want ek sing ook baie goed en kan dans ook. Ek sal graag ook \u2019n paar ligter rolle wil vertolk, want die afgelope tydjie het ek baie ernstiger rolle gehad.\u201d<\/p>\n
Vir diegene wat wik en weeg oor of hulle hul drome wil volg, s\u00ea hy: \u201cVolg net jou drome en doen dinge tot die beste van jou vermo\u00eb. As jy jou in \u2019n situasie bevind waarin jy ongelukkig is, sit jou hart en jou kop daarop om jou drome te bewaarheid.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
