Gerrit Fourie says that "The UFS Drama and Theatre Arts department will forever be in my heart. This is the place where a lot of personal development took place. Some lifelong friendships were made there and this is were I met my wife".
Fourie is a specialised lighting technician in the industry, and also designs and operates shows. He also likes to dabble in sound from time to time. He is
currently employed as HOD for Lighting at Multi-Media Events' Cape Town Division. This is one of the biggest technical companies in South Africa, and they are on an exciting journey to branch out to Dubai. Fourie is also part of the Tech Crew for KKNK who are responsible for the entire setup period and festival week.
Fourie's favourite quote is from the film Night at the Museum:
Teddy Roosevelt: You’re done your job. It’s time for your next adventure!
Larry Daley: I have no idea what I’m going to do tomorrow.
Teddy Roosevelt: How exciting!
