MAD Night 2013

Undoubtedly a highlight of the year, MAD Night brought together music, art, dance, drama, and more than a little magic, from within the Academy as well as from other Mombasa schools.  It was a full house at the amphitheatre on Friday evening for the fourth annual MAD Night that, along with a large number of Visual Art submissions, saw 20 performances from seven Mombasa schools that had been selected from more than 50 entries in the two preliminary rounds. The adjudicators comprised three well-known performing arts professionals from Mombasa, and their decisions brought considerable success to the Aga Khan Academy students. In the Visual Arts, first and second places went to Jayni Modasia and Imaan Cochu. Danish Dhamani took third place in Theatrical Performance with his highly entertaining magic illusions.

Free Spirits (Nancy Mayenge, Amisa Mwathethe, Kantarama Senze) and Karishma Bhagani gained third and first places respectively in the Dance Category. In the music sections, first and second in the solos were Maureen Mulinge and Mary Musyoka, and in the group category, second place went to Cindy Makau and Lynn Shiyayo, with The Tribe, a group of twelve DP boys and two female singers, taking first place in a spectacular, high-impact performance. The supreme winner of MAD Night 2013 was Maureen Mulinge.  Congratulations to all performers for providing the audience with a wonderful evening of entertainment at a very high standard.
