Johannes Theron

My work

Actor, Theatre director, Roy Hart Voice Teacher and leadership communications trainer and coach, for over 25 years Johannes Theron has facilitated executive education programs across Europe, the United States, and the Middle East for multinational Fortune 500 organizations across myriad industries, such as Coca-Cola, Proctor & Gamble, American Express, BASF, Harvard Business School, Oliver Wyman, Bain Capital, Dior, Chanel, Bostik, Société Générale, and BNP Paribas Bank.

Johannes has also served in a number of leadership roles as Director at Theron Training, Hart Training (in collaboration with Ivan Midderigh and Kate Kelly) and Archipelago Theatre. He has taught in universities and colleges in Europe, the U.S., Mexico, South Africa, and Israel.

Johannes was one of the Magnificent Seven: the first members of the Roy Hart Theatre to move from the United Kingdom to establish what is now known as the Centre Artistique International Roy Hart, in Malérargues in July, 1974. There, he embodied many roles over the years prior to pivoting into executive education, working as a builder, plasterer, accountant, and even executive chef for the forty founding members of the centre.

Born in South Africa, Johannes has a B. Admin. from Pretoria University of South Africa and is a graduate of the Webber Douglas Academy of Dramatic Art, London.

Directorial credits include Kaspar, the first full-length drama of Austrian playwright Peter Handke, The Key, based on a famous novel written by Nobel Prize Laureate Junichiro Tanizaki, and Eugene Ionesco’s Le Roi se Meurt (Exit the King).

Based for 25 years in Paris, France, Johannes has now returned to the Cévennes hills of the south and, in addition to his corporate facilitation work, he currently manages the administrative board (SCI) of Malérargues, home of the Roy Hart Theatre.

Johannes speaks English, French, Dutch, and Afrikaans.
