#61. LADY TSHAWE
LadyTshawe is a multi-talented award-winning artist. Her artistic style, expression and image
embody her abilities, aspirations and achievements. She is a force whose convictions and
views about equal opportunities for self-expression influence her writing, theatrical roles,
music and conversations.
Her professional artistic journey began in 2009 and she advocates for expressing herself as
a person, which is far from the need to be afforded privileges because she is a woman. She
aspires to influence the performing, entertainment and research sectors globally.
Lady Tshawe has performed in numerous theatre productions in and outside the country
such as Zambezi Express, Tellers: The Musical and Blood Tongue which saw her win
best theatre actress in 2018 at Bulawayo Arts Awards (BAA), to name but a few.
Also in 2017 she was selected as the Zimbabwean Scriptwriter for the Zimbabwe/UK
collaboration ‘Unified Women’ under Nhimbe’s WiTT programme. Under the same WiTT
programme In 2021 she was selected to be the Zimbabwean Lead Artist for a Zimbabwe/UK
collaboration 'Here, There, Now'. In 2019 she wrote and directed her first theatre production
‘6.55’ which saw her win the 2020 BAA Best Theatre Production, started her own theatre
company in 2021 which staged its first play ‘Kumnyama’ in the same year.
Lady Tshawe plans on creating a hub where artists can be mentored and trained in poetry,
script-writing, and acting, assist them to get published or have platforms to perform and
create work. She is currently the Project Coordinator at The Oasis: Creators Hub.
She one day hopes to create a tea brand as she is addicted to tea and thinks coffee ain’t all
that :)
