Kristina’s Broadway Connection is proud to announce our first African Show Dance Workshop on August 13th and 14th, 2018.

As many of you may know, Kristina has been supporting the Mali Kinderhilfe mit Herz Verein for the past six years. She has had the privilege of visiting Bamako in Mali twice to see the progress of what our support and donations have brought to the Malian children.

Kristina is excited that the Founder, Artistic Director and Choreographer of the Mali State African Ballet Company, Djiby Kouyate (PaPa Wango) and his Assistant and Co-Choreographer Djarli Kouyate will be honoring us with a Ritual African Show Dance Workshop.

This Workshop will help you to become a freer and more expressive Dancer. The African movements are rhythmic and strong allowing our bodies to let go and execute expression from our Hearts and Soul.

 

Workshop 1 (8-14 years)

The workshop will begin on Monday, August 13th for ages 8 through 14 years from 12:00-14:30.

Afterwards at 15:00, a Demonstration Performance will be given by both the Students with the young Malian Show Dance Team for the Parents and Family.

 

SchülerInnen in Mali

These Original Ritual African Dance Workshops are being given to us asking only in payment of voluntary donations for the Mali Kinderhilfe mit Herz Verein.

Remember, all that we give from our hearts will come back to us in multiples.

Our generosity will mean the world to those in greater need.

Thank you for the 15 years!

Dear beautiful dancers,

may I say on behalf of myself and my team how proud we are of each of you! Such amazing performances!

I know we all feel so touched when we see our ideas come to life as you gracefully dance across the stage. Truly magical!

We wish you all a pleasant summer and we are looking forward to seeing you at the summer workshops or in the fall.

May you all fulfill your dreams as I have with my amazing Broadway Connection family.

Much love,
KrisTina & Team

Premiere “The Magical Maze” – a full success!

Poster: The Magical Maze

On June 15 and 16, 2018 the Broadway Company celebrated a great success with “The Magical Maze” at Theater Akzent, directed by Julia Kneussel and Patrick Strasser.

In a vivid and exciting story the audience felt with the ensemble, they laughed and sometimes cried, and at the end awared them with massive applaus.

Voices from the audience mentioned for exeample “it was done with love for detail and immense creativity at an high level.” This represents the quality of the Broadway Connection and especially of the Broadway Company.

In a short interview Patrick gave us some insights in the work with the artists: “We trained the actors in intensive rehearsals to do their best. It was great to see one’s vision come to life. I had great trust in the team – especially Julia Kneussel, who created a wonderful stage adaption. Music-wise we included a width of pieces in this production which challenged the actors – from the classical musical, to pop, all the way to Rap and Gospel. And also choreographically we included many elements to support the story and also to demonstrate the versatility of this company.”

We are looking forward to the next school year, when the Broadway Company brings us to “42nd Street”, with a new and fresh adaption of this classic with latest musical hits from film and stage.

Don’t dream it. Be it!
