Broadway at Sardi’s Caitlin Carter, Charlotte d’Amboise, Mercedes Ellington, Donna McKechnie, and Desmond Richardson hosted CTFD “Between Shows,” March 28th.

Underwritten by the Shubert Organization for the 4th year, over 80 dancers from the Broadway musicals A Chorus Line, Beauty and the Beast, , Curtains, Hairspray, Mamma Mia, Tarzan, The Pro- ducers, The Lion King, The Pirate Queen, and 110 in the Shade attended. CTFD Board member Caitlin Carter spoke about CTFD’s methodology and programs and introduced clients Ana Maria Andricain of Beauty and the Beast and Todd Michel Smith of Hairspray. Both clients spoke about their introduction to CTFD at last year’s Sardi’s event and how CTFD has helped them develop their skills outside of dance. Through 1-on-1 career counseling and an entrepreneurial grant, Ana Maria started an online jewelry busi- ness, Jewel of Havana (jewelofhavana.com), and has expanded it to five retailers across the USA. Through an educational grant from the Caroline Newhouse Scholarship Fund, Todd recently graduated from col- lege and will pursue a career in Physical Education.

Spotlight On: Hans Kriefall Views on passion and pragmatism from a former Broadway dancer

To a dancer, dance is an extension of one’s identity — a reflection of lous and grueling rehearsals, and nerve-racking one’s devotion, drive and aspirations; and an established career validates auditions for years upon years, to the point in one’s ability to succeed and confirms confidence in oneself. For dancers, which their bodies are no longer able to keep up to the launching of a professional dance career is equivalent to a scientist speed with their drive. establishing a breakthrough discovery, or a runner completing a mara- thon — it is recognition of their skill and dedication, and an embodiment “If this was something I could do forever, I prob- of their lifelong passion.

He told CTFD that “I hit my early conditioned to accept challenges, do my Thirties and realized that there’s a finite life best and rely on that to get me through.” span to dancing.” This basic philosophy has helped Hans establish a successful career in law, and has availed some wonderful opportunities. Most recently, Hans’ While examining opportunities in other careers in theater, Hans decided, newfound career allowed him to spend two years in Europe as he worked “rather than starting over from square one, in an aspect of performing from the firm’s office in Frankfurt, Germany. that wasn’t necessarily something I was ‘dying’ to do, I decided to retire and quit while I was ahead.” With the help of Suzie Jary, CTFD counselor, When asked about the challenges and some of the fears he faced during Hans was able to take the next step towards finding something new. “It this period of redefining his professional self, Hans states: “the difficult is an absolutely priceless resource to have 1-on-1 attention focused on thing with any transition in life is that there’s such uncertainty…my fear you and your priorities…through the process of identifying what your was that I wouldn’t be equally passionate about whatever other work I strengths and interests are, and what you need to do to get where you found…however, I think you have to realize that your next field may not want to be.” be your first love — the way theatre was my first love.” During this period of self reflection, Hans seemed conflicted between his true passion and Hans was encouraged to apply for internships and to take advantage of his innate sense of pragmatism.
