About

Inge is a South African actor and theatre-maker. She holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts with Honors in Theatre from New York University's Tisch School of the Arts. Her NYU theatre credits include leading roles in Shakespeare’s The Tempest, Chekhov’s Three Sisters, Tennessee Williams’s Ten Blocks on the Camino Real and Jen Silverman's That Poor Girl and How He Killed Her, in which Inge originated the role of Briget.

After graduating, Inge completed a yearlong teaching fellowship, assisting in training second year actors at the university. She also produced and directed Romeo & Juliet at the Alchemical Theater, NYC and appeared in numerous short films for NYU and New York Film Academy.

She has been active in the South African theatre industry since 2016. Highlights include roles in My Children! My Africa! (dir. Mahlatsi Mokgonyana), Curse of the Starving Class (dir. Sylvaine Strike) and Tweespoor (dir. Juanita Swanepoel) which Inge adapted from the Afrikaans short prose text of the same title by Helena Gunter. She founded private production company Calaringe Productions to produce and manage the project. On debut at the Woordfees festival, Tweespoor received nominations for best theatre production, best director (Juanita Swanepoel), best emerging artist (Inge), and Nicole Holm took home the award for best female lead. The project went on to play at various festivals across South Africa supported by NATi.

Inge has also stepped into teaching and directing roles. Most recently, she co-directed an adaptation of Paula Vogel’s The Long Christmas Ride Home, and was awarded best director at FEDA 2024.

"I act because I feel a responsibility to speak. I speak for mostly imaginary people who, if they lived in the real world, would not get up on a platform and speak for themselves – and if they did, would not have an audience full of strangers who all agreed to be there and listen.  I am interested in making theatre that communicates something about people, for people, through people - that we may know ourselves only ever more."
