"He’ll push you.
(12)

INDIGO VIEW aims at bringing specialised and innovative training to individuals and groups. Soft skills training, voice/speech production, performance coaching, life coaching as well as industrial theatre are on offer. INDIGO VIEW’s approach is distinctive, unique and catered towards the needs of the individual client; priding ourselves on measurable outcomes and bringing a unique and humane angle

to the process of personal growth and development is the dominant ethos and philosophy. SOME TESTIMONIALS:

"A directing genius, Feinstein is largely one of those more creative directors that adds incredibly detailed directing that ensures any play he gets his hands on turns into an enlightening and entertaining piece of theatrical brilliance." – Joash Sigamoney

"Working with Steven was a truly incredible experience. He taught me to find the ‘truth’ in everything, as well as the unseen. I consider the opportunity to work with Steven again to be invaluable." – Jordan Major

"Steve has grown me as an actor, he is so emotionally evocative that it brings you out of your comfort zone and you explode into something amazing. He is the most helpful and AMAZING Drama Coach and it was a privelige to work with him". – Briony Macleod

"I felt inspired to push myself and have no limitations because Steve has the power to make you see differently and be better in the end. You’ll hate it. But you will be in the part and you’ll see results. You will look forward to seeing him next time." – Amy Jennings

"Steven brought out in my acting something I wasn’t aware existed. He made me think about aspects of myself I hadn’t considered before. The most evident is that he enabled me to be vulnerable, as Steven says ’ Vulnerability makes for the best actors’. I am in the process of learning to completely allow myself to be engulfed by the character and not sensor myself out of fear of being judged. He helped me to understand that making a character realistic isn’t about separating yourself from the character completely but about using your life experiences to make the situation more real for you, inturn more realistic for the audience. Through rehearsals with Steven my love and appreciation for drama has grown immensely. He creates a comfortable, open, non-judgemental space in which it is almost impossible for a young drama student not to flourish. I am unexplainably grateful and even more excited to continue my dramatic arts career after school. Thank-you Steven." – Thato Mokoena

"I totally recommend his workshops!! To discover yourself and your craft there's no better man to guide you and no safer yet challenging journey to take. His classes are limited so dont waste time." - Shelley Efthymiades

“The practical parts of the workshop helped me actualise the thoughts and ideas I have had...There is no ‘spoon feeding.’ Steven is clear, he takes his time explaining things and doesn’t mind repeating. I like that he allows for open discussion...I feel I am doing very important work not only as an actor but also as a human being.” – Lebohang Motaung

“Great subject knowledge and engagement...It’s unlike anything/process I’ve ever been through before. It challenges my comfort zones and forces me to deal with my weaknesses (ego).” – Getmore

“I get tools to work with what scares me the most...Very inspiring and justifies his way of teaching...It really helps me identify personally what and how I have been neglecting myself and that I have so much potential...” – Vanessa Swartz

“The tasks required me to be involved 100% and challenges the way I have been approaching auditions and performances...Steven gives every task time, and makes sure we are all on the same page. Pushes you to really look at the task at hand, understand what you are doing...I am learning something new every time I am here. The examples are practical and I am looking forward to applying them to a professional setting.” – Tshepo Matshaba

“There’s enough space and time for individual review/reflect sharing...Great and engaging. Highly beneficial. Great camaraderie.” – Ilse Hansen

“The guided trance work was amazing and I am looking forward to taking these
techniques to the ‘outside world.’ I felt very comfortable with the material covered and I don’t have reservations about any of the tasks.” – Nj Hourquebie

“Relaxed environment; vibe of conversation; space to make material personal, apply it to personal experience...No complaints, I am very with the facilitation – balanced, informed, sensitive, kind, compassionate and honest. Really interesting; mind blowing; challenging; engaging; tiring but good.” – Megan Reeks

“Very engaging. He clearly has a firm grasp of the subject. He presented it in a manner that I felt was generous and challenging too...Great.” – Mpho Osei-Tutu

I develop deep bonds and ties to the majority of actors that I work with because that is who I am. I don't see or feel any other way when I'm responsible for directing or coaching someone into a state of being or helping them step into characters with psychological depth or complexity. It's personal, or it doesn't matter. Mpho Sebeng was no exception. He trusted me to guide, direct and sometimes even yell him into different aspects of whatever we were doing at the time because passion is crucial for an Artist's spirit and he came to me wanting to be challenged. And he blossomed. A remarkable man who, I would later find out, would recommend me to actors wanting to follow in his footsteps and his friends telling me how much he loved me. I'm sorry I never got to see him again. Or to thank him for his testimony. Not many actors are willing to do that, especially at the level Mpho was catapulting in.
I am very grateful that I was asked to speak at his memorial as someone who had made an impact in his life, and to stand with many of the Indigo View actors (many couldn't make it but we felt them in spirit) while we honored him and his memory on the very stage he last performed on, will be forever remembered. It was the perfect memorial; heartfelt, sad, funny, amazing memories shared and to be in the room where so many were present, they had to have people sitting and standing outside because the theatre was packed to capacity with friends, family and artists whom he loved and affected. It was an energy that made me proud to have known him.
I ran the Advanced Actors Academy for 8 years. Mpho is the first of any of the actors that I've trained or directed (in the academy) to pass. He was only 30.
I will miss him as I miss and think fondly on every actor, in their own way, because we walk a deep and meaningful journey together. But Mpho's light, especially, will be missed. All of my love to the Sebeng family and Mpho's loved ones. May he rest in peace.

Just heard the horrible news of Mpho's passing. His Othello and Johnny in Indigo View's final academy showcase in 2021 were tremendous. I will always remember him as one of the bravest actors I had taught and directed; meticulous, dedicated and a true artist who took on every challenge I threw at him. He was also one of the kindest and most genuine of souls. Rest well, rest easy and thank you for your talent and open heart 🤍

Victims and targets of narcissistic abuse often express feelings and thoughts around not feeling good enough. They affect us, deep in our core, and they trigger all of the unprocessed childhood wounds and traumas, bringing to the surface behaviors and experiences that can feel overwhelming and threatening to the person being manipulated, used, abused and terrorized.
This video is a reminder that you were selected for a reason. Toxic people don't choose each other. I hope you can receive this message as a gentle reminder that the real work of self care, self discovery and deep healing begins once our intraction with the toxic and abusive person(s) end.

I've not been called Obi Wan Steven before, but I'll take it 🤣🙏 Artists like Natasha Sutherland understand and practice being an 'ever student' and that's why their work captures and resonates with audiences regardless of the medium she's in. Being open to learning and growth is how we get better!
