Masai graduated in 2016 with a bachelor’s degree in performing arts technology at the Tshwane University of Technology. He is the director of Views Avenue, a production company that aims to build a bridge between the fringe and the mainstream.
With his company, he has staged about four productions and 16 poetry showcases. Additionally, he has written and directed three plays that have gone on to be staged at several national theatres including, The South African State Theatre, The Joburg Theatre and The Market Theatre.
Masai is a set designer and a scenic painter with experience designing over 20 plays since his graduation in 2016. He has worked mostly with up-and-coming directors who otherwise wouldn't have access to professional set designers.
As a poet, Masai has won numerous slam competitions; holding four championships and three runner ups. He has been invited twice to read at Poetry Africa and in 2019 he was invited to Sweden to perform
at the Uppsala Book Festival.
In addition to these art disciplines Masai is also a fine artist. In 2022 he organised and curated his first exhibition “the dichotomy of light and shadow”, exhibiting 20 art pieces and has since curated three more exhibitions.
Masai is definitely forgetting to add somethings but these are things he is most proud of.
