(Nicola
Jackman)
Nicola Jackman, actress, joy catalyst and
one of Glamour's Women of the Year in 2013, is calling on the folk in KwaZulu-Natal
to prepare for The UP’s inspiring KZN PureJOY Tour running from May 10 to 26.
Jackman will be welcomed by Julia Ambler
(KZN’s LEADSA Hero of the Year) at a fundraising breakfast for Umduduzi
Hospice Care For Children, a remarkable organization working in nine state
hospitals in KZN. This is the start of a beautiful synergy of efforts between
their two respected organisations – that both bring relief to children
suffering with life threatening illnesses.
Jackman will spend the duration of the
PureJOY Tour sharing the joy-inspiring tools she has learnt over the past 10
years, she says “In these 20plus days we’re intending to Uplift over 3,000
people and support the sustained growth of love & joy in the Banana
Republic.” The Castle in Hillcrest, home of The Conscious Café, will host
Nicola & The UP whilst they are in town and a number of public events will
be delivered there.
She played the role of Elise Buller in the
original cast of Isidingo from
1998-2001. Currently she’s one of the key cast for the award-winning TV Comedy of
the Year – ZANews, where she impersonates
the likes of Helen Zille, Deborah Patta and Lady Gaga. She balances her life of
performance with catalyzing joy, as founder of the inspiring arts for health
organization – The UPliftment Programme (The UP - www.theup.org.za).
Following the rousing success of The UP’s
2013 PureJOY TOUR to Gauteng and the remarkable outreach & UPliftment of
over 2,000 youth and the further sustained weekly UPliftment of over 400
children every month in hospitals in Johannesburg; she’s chosen to bring a
similar tour to KZN to enthuse people to live more purposefully and grow the
joy movement in KZN and beyond.
The KZN PureJoy Tour will consist of a
programme of MAfrika theatre shows, live Joy Talks, Care Clown Trainings and
even hospital visits.
Joy Activism is a term being coined by the
UPliftment program to sit alongside peace and environmental activism as an act
of ‘Loving & purposeful humanKINDness”.
The UP helps everyone unleash their
creativity, their inner child, and learn to act from a place of love rather
than fear.
