Teranga Art Village
A space where dreams are allowed to dance – a place where dreams are allowed to grow.
Young people in Senegal dream of a place where they can dance safely, learn, and shape their future.
The Teranga Village of Arts is meant to become exactly this space – born from the strength of Senegal, carried by music, community and hope.
A place where cultures meet, learn from one another, and something new emerges. A place where perspectives grow and bridges are built – at eye level, with respect and mutual inspiration.
With your support, we help make this dream a reality. Every contribution brings us one step closer to a living place for dance, art and community.
Katja Richter studied Choreographie at the Academy of Arts „Ernst Busch“. In 2007, she received a scholarship for the choreographic exchange to Dartington College of Art in England, followed by an assistant to Ismael Ivo. Her choreographic work included, for example, productions at Hebbel am Ufer, Gripstheater, Berliner Festspielhaus and Tacheles et al. She choreographed music videos such as Dickes-B and Dancehall Caballeros of the Berlin band Seeed and let her performers in dizzying heights of 89 meters for the 50th anniversary of Gropiusstadt conquer the skies. As a stunt woman, she worked in more than 50 films, by Tom Tykwer, the Wachowski Brothers, Paul Anderson and Wolfgang Becker among others.
