Artfluence with Vivie

For years, Uncle Ebo Whyte has used theatre to do more than entertain. Through laughter, conflict, and deeply human stories, he has challenged audiences to think differently about love, family, faith, purpose, and the choices that shape our lives.In this season finale of Artfluence, we sit down with the founder of Roverman Productions to talk about the journey behind the work, the discipline of theatre-making, mentoring the next generation, staying attentive to the times, and why art should always leave people with food for thought.If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to build work that lasts, this conversation is for you.🎧 Watch and listen now.

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.

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!!!

Beyond the glitz and glam, art is one big bag of responsibility. A sometimes burdensome charge to represent a culture, to give voice to a people’s reality, to, sometimes slowly, influence minds.Artfluencing is a lot of power. How do artists wield that power and what weight do they carry because of it?Welcome to Artfluence with Vivie, where art meets influence.

People see the performance.They see the smiles, the costumes, the stage lights, the applause.But behind dance is discipline, exhaustion, sacrifice, survival… and the difficult decision to build a life using your body as your instrument.In this episode, we sit with Mr Yemi to talk about dance beyond passion; dance as work, identity, responsibility, and livelihood. Stay tuned as we bring to you a deeply honest conversation about what it truly means to choose this path.

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.
