For over a decade, The International Arts Talent Showcase (IATS) has not only been identifying local talent, but developing that talent through international arts education.
Every year, Elsubie Louwrens, Chairman and CEO of 33 & Me Talent Agency and Producer of the IATS, travels across the country to scout the new budding talent this country has to offer and Durban is next on the agenda.
Durban auditions will be taking place this Saturday 20 April. The team is looking for singers, actors, dancers and models to come and showcase their talent. Participants will also take part in an industry related workshop presented on the day.
Those who receive a call back at the audition will have the opportunity to be part of the IATS 2024, now in its fourteenth year. This prestigious event will be held in Johannesburg and will bring together industry professionals, casting directors, and agents from around the world. It is here that our local artists will get to showcase their unique talents in front of top world-class international talent scouts.
Powerfully equipped with 25 years of industry experience and knowledge, Elsubie is actively involved and dominating all spectrums of the music, film, fashion, entertainment and media industries. She elevates and casts light on untapped talent in South Africa and ardently fosters and drives them towards international accolades. Elsubie’s ethos is to uplift the nation to heights they never deemed possible – to set their hearts on fire for what they are most passionate about and to equip them with the tools necessary to bring their dreams to life.
Elsubie says, “The youth are our future. My aim is to equip, inspire and build a powerful nation of creatives.”
As an empowerment leader, Elsubie is making the dreams of thousands of South Africans a reality. She says, “We might be a third world country, but we have first world potential”.
It is important to note that this is not a competition. It is a platform to nurture local talent, provide artists with business opportunities and create longevity in the workplace.
