A master of the wicked manipulation of the mind and a performer who is trained in the art of thought deception. Bryan has performed across the globe, from London to Los Angeles. His TV series has had South Africans across the country questioning what is possible and what is not. “Absolutely phenomenal!” Leigh-Anne Williams (SABC 3 Presenter)
Bryan can seemingly influence and predict human behaviours. By using his skillset of magic, suggestion and psychology – he is able to theatrically manipulate your perception of the world. “Bryan Miles is amazing!” Jack Parow (Musician)
His one-man show sees Bryan sharing some of his unique obsessions with the audience. Bryan Miles is an ordinary person with extraordinary skills…whether it is extracting people’s inner most thoughts or controlling their behaviour – this show will keep you questioning the potential of the human mind! “I am obsessed with the human mind. Are the thoughts and decisions we make truly our own? There are cracks in the way we perceive the world – this show is all about exploring those cracks. Every thought we have results in some kind of action – I don’t read minds, I read people.”

Theatre for the Early Years is a form of theatre specifically devised for very young audiences (0-30 months). Children are accompanied by at least one parent/caregiver and remain with the caregiver for the duration of the performance (approx 45 minutes). Performances are relaxed and intimate with small audiences. The experience is multi-sensory, interactive and exploratory. The facilitators lead the young audience through a series of sea-themed experiences, stimulating sensory perception and a sense of wonderment.
This relaxed, multi-sensory immersive experience is devised by sensory theatre practitioner Margot Wood based on her work with Early Years Theatre companies Helios Theatre (Germany), Trusty Sidekick (USA) and Oily Cart (UK)
Limited to ten babies accompanied by an adult. Plenty of space for extra adults.
We start learning about fairytales and happily-ever-after before we can even walk. Then we grow up. Some of us wonder what ever happened to the fairytales and some of us, well... never believed in them in the first place. This whimsical and quirky song revue depicts the journey of two women (both played by Titilayo Adedokun) who evolve through their personal experiences of love, its challenges and its consequences. A collection of witty and thought-provoking songs that will leave you laughing, crying and oh-so identifying with the characters. 50 Shades of Fairytales explores the complexities of love and the consequences of expectations, and deals with these serious issues in a very satirical and entertaining way.
Review by Marina Griebenow (Theatre Critic, Cape Talk/Die Burger): "One of the things I envy my friends who live in New York is that late night, after the shows end on Broadway, stars sometimes head to intimate clubs where they let their hair down and give impromptu performances of hits from the musicals and lesser-known numbers by the same composers and librettists, in other words the stuff they would really like to sing. Coming across a show with the same sensibilities right here in the Mother City was therefore an unexpected and welcome pleasure! Titilayo Adedokun's cabaret show puts her audience in a New York state of mind with sophisticated material ranging from Gershwin to Sondheim and a finely honed, polished performance. She is a superb interpreter who has an extraordinary voice that she uses to great effect. In fact, she is a rare breed - a trained singer with an instrument that manages to straddle both the operatic repertoire and show tunes without the one style overwhelming or undermining the other. In a venue the size of Alexander Bar's theatre, it is understandable that she would rely on backtracks for accompaniment, but it would be a real treat to hear her performing in a venue like the Baxter Concert Hall (she does not need amplification) with a good pianist"
Audience reviews: "Wow, this show was amazing Titilayo is incredible So entertaining, went by in a flash We would love to see more and would definitely return with friends"
"Her best show yet. Pleasantly surprised by how good her acting, inducement of humour was, in addition to her singing ability. This show can run longer than 4 days, I thought."
"I really enjoyed it. It was the best way to end a week. Titilayo was awesome as ever. I liked the fact that it contained very powerful messages that were interspersed with humor. Well done Titilayo. I take my hat off for you for remembering all the text!"
“Excellent show Very entertaining, yet thought-provoking A truly enjoyable evening”
“Brilliant effort, talent and thought put in”
“She was brilliant! We loved her! If she had a CD we would have bought one. Keep doing what you're doing!”

In die kaberet loer ons na die vrou deur die wêreld se oë. Hier sien ons die beeld van die vrou waar sy gaan van ‘n “lappop”, ‘n ma wat haar droom deur haar dogter wil leef, ‘n vrou wat n idee van haarself in haar kop skep, tot ‘n ma wat se liefde nooit eindig nie. Ons sorg vir behoorlike skaterlag, maar as die realitiet jou slaan, los dit jou met ’n traan in die oog en bring jou tot beseffing wat die vrou in die lewe regtig beteken.
Die universele vrou kan baie vorme aanneem, maar wat het hulle almal in gemeen? Hulle almal is deel van een groot gejaagte wêreld en die misleidende prentjie wat die wêreld skep van hoe ‘n vrou moet wees : mooi, maer, slim, aktief, ‘n besigheids vrou, terselfde tyd ‘n huis vrou, ‘n ma, ouma, vriendin, suster, niggie, tannie en tog wil sy net vrou wees. Ons vat die donker wolk wat op die vrou se skouers lê en sit ‘n silwer rantjie om - jy het die reg om ‘n vrou te wees en te lag daaroor!
