Evelyn Kemizinga
Mulokole: Evelyn Kemizinga is a fine actress who is comfortable playing second-best and letting others shine. Her colleagues in Fun Factory know her potential and keep pushing her. The actress popular for her role as Mulokole in Mizigo Express, recently took on a lead role in the new television drama, Popi, and Edgar R. Batte caught up with her.
My classmate and friend, Veronica Namanda, was the one that encouraged me to join Theatre Factory. We were both pursuing a Bachelor’s degree of Arts in Drama so she knew me well that she must have spotted my potential as an actress.
How did you mold your career in professional acting after you joined the theatre outfit?
Even before joining the university, I had a lot of love for drama because of the happy and lively life it offers. When I got the opportunity to act on stage, I felt the joy it brings to the fans. I got to meet actors and actresses with different talents and traits, which helped me grow fast and also learn from different people.
What did you learn and from who?
I first learnt from the female actresses – Vero and Faith Kimuli. From Vero, I learnt spontaneity, flexibility. From the boys I learnt how to never hold grudges because with them, you could clash in the morning and in the afternoon, they have moved on and expect you to handle business like nothing happened. I learnt to be fast. Also, I realised that the creativity of men is different from us women. They will look at scripts from a different angle.
You are celebrated for your role in television drama shows, Mizigo Express and now Popi. Looking at your journey and the artist you have become, what anchors your abilities?
