BROADWAY IN SOUTH AFRICA Travel Blog - Introduction!
For three years, Broadway in South Africa has worked to create cross-cultural exchange between youth in need and artists who seek their talent for change. Right now, marks the group's inaugural mid-year trip to South Africa to establish it's leadership component, as well as joint a workshop with local professional artists affiliated with Montecasino in Johannesburg. The company recently launched a community service initiative called Doorstep, for which BSA teaching artists will help to facilitate its first venture into the neighboring Diepsloot township, to use arts education to effect positive change.
BSA is teaming up with BroadwayWorld to bring you a daily blog from it's Broadway artists in South Africa. Stay Tuned!
To see some of the recent work BSA has done, take a look at this video from their trip in January:
