< Back Rob Caskie ARTIST ENQUIRY I am interested in booking Select a date First Name Last Name Email Company Phone Submit Thanks! We get back to you shortly Event details KwaZulu Natal I am often asked about the “WHO, WHAT, WHEN and WHY” of what I do, so I have prepared these words to help you consider including me in your next event or conference. Who am I and what are my areas of expertise? Having enthralled audiences with my experiences on motorcycle trips in southern Africa at university, I embarked on a professional speaking career 20 years ago. I have presented the stories of South African History, the battles of Isandlwana and Rorke’s Drift along with early Antarctic and Arctic exploration successfully to thousands of audiences around the world. As a consummate story-teller, I specialize in telling stories about human beings in extreme circumstances. My interest in people and their history was cemented by extensive travels all over the world.A passionate interest in photography assists me in creating visual images via the power of the spoken word. Alongside my speaking career, I conduct regular battlefield tours in KwaZulu Natal. What are my presentations about? Stories about human beings in extremis. My presentations resonate in the minds of the listener and relate thought-provokingly to the lessons which are to be learned from yesteryear. I specialize in telling powerful stories and entertaining audiences in the theatre of their own imagination, sans PowerPoint. “When the lights trip, Rob does not”. When should you use me? In any situation where something significantly different, compelling, thought-provoking and memorable is required. My stories, which may weave your theme into their content, are a great way to open or close an event. Being multi-cultural they are utterly appropriate for all audiences – they are essentially human stories. Why? As human beings, we have grown up with story-telling, yet with the entertainment options available today, this ancient art is being lost. Audiences love being swept up in a great story and entertained in the theatre of the mind. Storytelling may seem like an old-fashioned tool, today – and it is. That’s exactly what makes it so powerful. Life happens in the narratives we tell one another. A story can go where quantitative analysis is denied admission: our hearts. Data can persuade people, but it doesn’t inspire them to act; to do that, you need to wrap your vision in a story that fires the imagination and stirs the soul. When you want to motivate, persuade, or be remembered, start with a story of human struggle and eventual triumph. It will capture people’s hearts – by first attracting their brains. Allow me, with my stick and trademark shorts, the opportunity of revitalising your audience with a human story well-told.

< Back ARTIST ENQUIRY I am interested in Select a date First Name Last Name Email Company Phone Submit Thanks! We will get back to you shortly Event details Debby Jamieson Cape Town A TASTE OF BETTE MIDLER written and produced by Debbie Jamieson Directed by Celia Musikanth Musical Director Ted Faulkner Alan van der Merwe on Piano Ted Faulkner on Bass Ivor Jacobson on Drums Choreographer Paul Johnson Lighting and Sound Gary Farghe Reviewed by Lieske Bester Supported by a quality and sensitive trio of musicians this is a classy and most enjoyable production. Debby Jamieson sings and dances a treat and looking lithe and lovely with a strong stage presence is an undeniable bonus. Whether you do or do not know Bette Midler and her musical career (there is more than a passing visual resemblance) this young artist has put together an amusing and informative script and a varied programme presented with gusto. Against a backdrop (Johnson) that is both glamorous and minimal Defined direction and choreography enhance the selection. Ballads (From a Distance, the stirring Wind Beneath My Wings and The Rose) are effectively contrasted with physical numbers (Boogy Woogy Bugle Boy, the provocative Stuff like That), witty theatrical gems (Miss Otis Regrets, Shattered Illusions, Is That All There Is?). Combining all her performing skills makes Masochism Tango a dazzling finale. The instrumental interludes (In the Mood and Chattanooga Choo Choo) fittingly display the talents of the musicians individually and together. Debby Jamieson has cut her teeth in the competitive UK entertainment market, and this is a promising debut on the South African professional stage.
