We spend a lot of time talking about talent in the arts. But what about the systems that allow talent to thrive? In this episode, Tryphena Wade joins us for a thoughtful conversation on artist wellbeing, creative sustainability, audience loyalty, and what it really takes to build a theatre culture that endures. Along the way, we ask an important question: what can Ghanaian theatre learn from industries that have spent decades investing in both their artists and their audiences? This is a must-listen. Don’t miss out.

Addiction; The Process, Impact and Aftermath

Every production leaves something behind. Not just in the minds of the audience, but in the bodies, emotions, and memories of the people who bring it to life. On this episode of Artfluence, we sit with the cast of Addiction to explore both sides of the story; the work on stage and the emotional reality off stage. What does it mean to fully inhabit a role like this? What lingers after the performance ends? And how do actors navigate the impact of telling such intense, consuming stories? This is an interesting listen. Enjoy!!!

The Body as an Instrument with Mr Yemi

People see the performance. They see the smiles, the costumes, the stage lights, the applause.

Stay tuned as we bring to you a deeply honest conversation about what it truly means to choose this path.

Artistry, Vulnerability and Impact with Adjetey Anang

Art has a way of pulling truth to the surface. It asks us to feel, reflect, confront, and sometimes even heal. And perhaps that is what makes it so powerful. This week on Artfluence with Vivie, Ghana’s celebrated actor and author Adjetey Anang takes us into a deeply honest conversation about vulnerability, identity, storytelling, and the emotional truth behind performance. Because behind every character and every powerful performance… there is always something deeply human waiting to be understood.
