Perfomance: Nana Asaase at TEDxLabone
With keen interest in literary broadcasts like "By the fireside" and "Abibigor)mma" theatre productions on television in the early nineties, Nana Asaase felt a strong connection to the spirit of the stage. He struck Greek mythology early, and by age eight (8), he had read most of Aesop's fables, Beowulf, and among my favourite movies, were Joan of Arc and Macbeth. Though He did not understand them fully at that time, He appreciated the aesthetic value those timeless pieces presented, which were to shape his literary career later in life.
Nana Asaase attended University of Ghana, where his dream came true, after being under the tutelage of his dream mentor, Prof. Kofi Anyidoho and emerged as one of the top five students for the Advanced Creative Writing Course, and one of the two with specific focus on poetry. Picking a name his late grandmother used to address him, Nana Asaase which is suitable for his intense African style.
With a rich experience spanning more than a decade, Nana Asaase blends the English Language with local languages, employs vivid metaphors and music to present a bridge between tradition and modernity, providing tasteful African/Ghanaian Literary Art, suitable for all audiences.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
