ENTRY FORM
"Thank you for giving me the opportunity to be a part of Project Performer this year. It was such an amazing experience that I will definitely remember for the rest of my life"
Lisa Dos Santos - 2024 Artist
"Once again, thank you Shylo. If it wasn't for you creating such a wonderful platform I would never have felt like a new person. I feel validated and inspired to pursue my gifts. When I was sitting on Durban airport it dawned on me that when I left Cape Town I was a "nobody " in the arts world but now I am returning as somebody, all because of you, Shylo. I pray God continue to give you the strength and resources to continue to change people's lives."
Geralda Bock - 2024 Artist
"Project Performer is widely regarded as the premier artist development program in KZN, and it has the potential to be the best in South Africa. Under the leadership of Shylo Pereira, the program is meticulously crafted to ensure remarkable growth for every artist who participates. Shylo and the exceptional coaching team dedicate themselves to helping each artist discover and express their authentic selves, while also nurturing their inner superstar and pushing them to reach their full potential. If you are passionate about the performing arts and want to refine your skills with top-tier professionals, Project Performer South Africa is the place for you!."
Tim Edley - Artist and former student
"Project Performer is not just a platform to audition and compete, but most important to develop your skills as an artist. I was an artist in 2021, and despite the limitations COVID-19 brought, Shylo made sure we had all the one-on-one training with herself and also industry professionals. We also had workshops online. I also worked as a crew member and was the MC during Project Performer 2023. It was great to see how things work in person and I got to see the growth first hand that happened with all the performers. No other platform will give you such access to industry professionals and hold the opportunities that Project Perfomer gives. It opens doors. Working as a recruiter I have seen firsthand how hard Shylo works and is dedicated to each artist. This is an investment in your future as a performer for sure."
