About Carishma Basday

I 23 year old professional actress, dancer and aspiring model.
I started my training at the tender age of 3. I traveled to Chicago in the USA as a Rotary exchange student. While fulfilling my duty as an exchange student by helping various charities such as hurricane Katrina victims and educating people about my beloved South Africa, i also found the time to be a journalist for a local paper, a news anchor and journalist for a local news channel, and follower my dreams of becoming a professional actress and dancer by landing a role in the play Les Miserables and a dancing show.
After a year i returned to study in South Africa, in 2008 i obtained my degree in performing arts and media studies. i have also acquired a diploma through UKZN in association with the New York Film Academy in behind the scenes work such as editing, scriptwriting, lighting, directing and producing. I then decided to follow my dreams to Cape Town where she attended Act Cape Town where i trained as a film actress under big names in the industry such as Grant Swanby and Sean Cameron Michael. I signed with the Artists One agency in 2009 and has never looked back.

I have trained in many styles of dancing including ballet, modern dance, jazz, contemporary, hip hop, belly dancing, funk, fusion, salsa and Latin American. I have done numerous national and international theatre productions, tv commercials, music videos and short films. My greatest achievement thus far is my role in the award winning theatre piece Betesda, which besides receiving rave reviews took three Kanna awards at this years Absa KKnk festival.

Besides living breathing eating and sleeping her passion for the performing arts, I am a dynamic personality who enjoys life to the fullest. I am a self-proclaimed dare devil who enjoys many outdoor sports and activities, and capitalizes on any opportunity to soak up some sun.
Modelling for the media is based on acting work. As such I am what you need for your challenging assignments. I am well proportioned for lingerie modelling and glamour shoots and among other things...I am vivacious, sexy and, due to my acting experience, can easily give you what you require .
