Ghanaian playwright Chief Moomen has suggested ways of making theatre in Ghana more vibrant.<\/p>\n

The curator of the Mansa World Theatrical project told Kwame Dadzie on\u00a0Joy FM<\/strong>\u2019s Showbiz A-Z that one of the ways of elevating the art form is by doing a lot of collaborations.<\/p>\n

Chief mooted the idea of a theatre festival, intimating its likelihood to put theatre in Ghana on a higher pedestal.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cMaybe one of the things we can do as we develop our capital is to pull those resources together. One of the things I would even propose is as some point, in a year or two is for us to do a major theatre festival. That is one of the strategies I was discussing with one of the professors of arts.<\/p>\n

So imagine myself, George Quaye, Latif Abubakar, Uncle Ebo Whyte, we all come together and say are doing a major theatre festival. So we are not only pulling resources together, we also pulling audiences together,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He also added that lobbying policy makers though activism was another way of advancing the cause.<\/p>\n

Apart from that the poet and playwright highlighted the importance of building the right infrastructure, employing effective marketing strategies and proving compelling content for theatre audiences.<\/p>\n

Ghanaian poet and playwright, Chief Moomen, is in the United States of America with 24 others for the 2024 Global Programme of the prestigious Eisenhower Fellowships .<\/p>\n

Chief Moomen is one of Ghana\u2019s enterprising playwrights breaking boundaries with his craft.<\/p>\n

On February 17, 2024, Chief Moomen attended the World Conference on Culture and Arts Education in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.<\/p>\n

This comes after the launch of \u2018The Mansa World\u2019, an initiative by Chief that is curating African history and heritage in a variety of exciting content across theatre, film and other derivatives for global audiences.<\/p>\n

It was launched at the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation\u2019s (UNESCO) headquarters in Paris on October 18, 2023.<\/p>
