JOACHIM KEKE : DANCING BETWEEN CULTURES , CREATING BEAUTIFUL MOMENTS ACROSS BORDERS

Joachim Keke: Dancing Between Cultures, Creating Across Borders.

In the heart of Bradford’s evolving cultural landscape, few artists embody the blend of bold tradition and modern expression like Joachim Keke A dancer, theatre artist, community facilitator and cultural visionary, Joachim has spent the last two years carving a path that not only showcases his craft, but also uplifts voices too often silenced especially those of Black and African heritage.

With roots in theatre and a deep devotion to African culture, Joachim’s performances are not just entertainment—they are living, moving conversations. As a creative and performing artist with Common Wealth Theatre, he has featured in multiple groundbreaking works which includes. “IN COMMON” a citizen-assembly-inspired piece reflecting on social inequality; “STILL WAITING”, a bold and necessary commission from Healthy Minds/Bradford and Craven NHS, addressing raw realities of mental health through immersive performance, “IDENTITY” a deeply personal dance showcase exploring identity and adaptation in unfamiliar spaces as well as working on research and development and co-devising elements of current

work, “PUBLIC INTREST”, which premiered in May 2025, and is part of Bradford

UK City of Culture’s programme

His ability to blend movement with meaning has made him more than just a performer—he’s a facilitator of dialogue. As a **Youth Lab Coordinator with common wealth and **freelance youth theatre director** with **Parkview Youth Theatre (Northern Broadsides) Joachim has supported directing performances such a “Brainstorm” and “Iron man” respectively, mentoring young voices, offering platforms for expression, connection, and healing through performance.

But his reach doesn’t stop at the stage. During **Black History Month**, Joachim co-led the **Black Heritage Day** at the University of Bradford, creating a rich tapestry of indigenous African fashion, music, and dance—an offering to the community, and a powerful reclaiming of identity.

Currently, Joachim is co-choreographing and performing in *So Far So Good*, a tender and humorous piece celebrating the freedom and joy of older adults. He has also contributed to performances at the **Men Porch Awards**, addressing men’s mental health, and the **ABA Gala Night**, where his rousing interpretation of *Still I Rise*—inspired by Maya Angelou—brought the audience to their feet.

Looking ahead, Joachim continues to expand his artistry, with an upcoming **aerial performance commissioned by Bradford 2025** in Shipley and new collaborations with **Brave** , BAFA and other creative platforms on the horizon.

In addition to his UK-based work, Joachim brings a rich legacy from Nigeria. As Artistic Director at Touche Imperium, he led creative direction on numerous theatre productions. With Thespian Family Theatre, he graced major stages, and during his time as a Drama Teacher at Helen O’ Grady Drama Academy, he used movement-led, student-focused methods to ignite youth participation.

Driven by a desire to **celebrate African culture** and fuelled by a love for performance, Joachim’s work connects heritage with hope. He is not just telling stories—he is building bridges, challenging norms, and reminding us all of the beauty in movement, memory, and identity.

THE COLONISED MINDSET OF AFRICA FROM A FOOTBALL PERSPECTIVE – BY OSCAR BIMPONG

THE COLONISED MINDSET OF AFRICA FROM A FOOTBALL PERSPECTIVE

So yesterday I went to my usual place where I watch the Champions League and other important league games.

My motive was to go and watch the Ghana-Nigeria match and not the Chelsea versus Real Betis. The good news was this place had two screens so one was showing the Chelsea match and the other was showing the Ghana-Nigeria match.

The TV that was showing the Chelsea match was having glitches but the one showing the Ghana one was working well. Before we realised it, someone had swapped the matches and all of a sudden, Ghana’s one was showing on the TV that had glitches.

This led to an altercation among those watching the Ghana match and the Chelsea fans. However, I realise that about 90% of the people were interested in the Chelsea match and not the Ghana-Nigeria match. So those who were interested in the Ghana match lost the battle and many of them left the place including myself.

I then moved the car to another place and they were showing the Chelsea match. I then had to move again to another place where I had to even experience some traffic before I got there.

When I got there, they were showing the Ghana-Nigeria match so I just had a sigh of relief because at long last, there was a group of people that is still fascinated about the things of Africa and not the West.

Before I could sit down, the channel was changed to the Chelsea match. At this time, I was frustrated because not knowing the Chelsea match was half halftime so they switched to watch the Ghana-Nigeria match for the 15-minute break.

I had to leave and come home but when I was coming, a lot of things were going through my mind. I was like when we were growing up, who would watch a Chelsea match when Ghana and Nigeria were playing even if it was a friendly match?

How did we get to this stage where everything about Africa is no more of interest to us but everything about Europe is admired? The first place I visited where they swapped the TVs, the passion of those who were watching the Chelsea match and how they were ready to fight anyone who would try and change the channel overwhelmed me.

We have come to the stage where we have left everything in Africa and embraced everything in Europe. This MINDSET if continues will destroy everything we have and everything we want to build.

We don’t even watch our football with some excuse that it doesn’t look exciting. Go and watch the premiership in the late 80s and 90s and you will realise that even their pitches were muddy. If their people did not go and watch matches, would they have got to this stage where now we think they are better so we have left ours to invest in them?

According to Africa Facts Zone, it is estimated that DSTV paid $438 million for Premier League rights in 50 African countries from 2016 to 2019. They have extended the deal until 2025. They paid €100 million for UEFA Champions League rights.

Which people are paying the cost DSTV incurred in getting these rights? It is the DSTV that is found in the homes of Ghana, Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa etc.

So now you can imagine the amount of investment we’ve put into the league of others who don’t even know we exist.

WHEN ARE WE GETTING THE PRIDE OF AFRICA BACK?

Sometimes when I’m listening to TV or Radio and sports hosts or presenters with their panel spending a lot of time discussing the European league with less attention to the local league, I weep, because this is a COLONISED MINDSST that needs to change.

We must invest in our league to which I agree. However, if patronage and passion are dead, then investment wouldn’t matter. How do we bring the love and pride of Africa back? Our youth are lost to Europe. We are living on a continent where every young person thinks they can only make it in Europe.

That mindset has translated into loving other leagues and not our own, our fashion is accepted when clothes or shoes are coming from Europe, and everything built in Africa is deemed inferior to their European counterparts.

As a business trainer and consultant leading a firm called Train2inspire Consultancy, I have seen big projects given to Europeans because we believe Caucasians are better than our own. The person who doesn’t understand your culture is given a project to do ahead of those who understand the dynamics of how things work in Africa.

Until we start believing in ourselves and develop the mindset that we will build our own, we will never see the Africa we want. Mindset change is not an alternative but a must on this continent. If we continue this trajectory of everything foreign being better than our own, then we will continue to sink instead of experiencing the mantra, AFRICA RISING.

This is a fight not for one person but for everyone on the continent. Our media stations, Churches, Governments and institutions that influence our thinking must start a campaign that causes us to believe and invest in ourselves. This is the only way we can grow as people.

AFRICA NEEDS A MINDSET REVOLUTION.

This Revolution must start from reading my book titled;

Mindset Revolution – Re-engineering Your Mind from Prison to Purpose

My name is Oscar Bimpong and I’m the Mindset Revoltionist of our time. We help organisations transition from a fixed to a growth mindset by breaking limiting beliefs that hinder productivity at the workplace.

It’s possible if only you believe.

ROLE MODEL OF THE WEEK, OLIVE PATRICIA ELLIS – RELATIONSHIP CONSULTANT AND PUBLISHED AUTHOR BASED IN CANADA

Olive Patricia Ellis

I have always been driven by a deep passion for helping others – a value instilled in me from an early age by my parents. This lifelong commitment to service has shaped my career as a Relationship Consultant, Ordained Minister, and Social Entrepreneur, where I have guided individuals and couples toward fulfilling, meaningful connections.

With a Doctor of Psychology and a Master’s degree in Counseling and Consulting Psychology, I have spent over a decade empowering individual and couples through expert guidance in effective communication, intimacy enhancement, conflict resolution, and breakup recovery. As a dedicated social entrepreneur, I have also pioneered initiatives that foster personal and relational growth, creating transformative programs and services that support individuals in navigating life’s challenges with confidence and clarity.

Beyond my work in relationships, I’m also a published author, with books such as Start Doing ‘It’: Making Your Relationships Better and More Exciting, Underneath The Sheets -Bedroom Adventures: Fun and Intimate Activities For Couples, and The Blueprint To Happiness. My writing and workshops focus on personal growth, happiness breakthroughs, and strengthening relationships.

Currently, I am actively involved in the M.A.L.E Program (Motivation & Assistance for Life Empowerment), a registered not-for-profit organization based in Toronto, Ontario. The program was conceptualized to address the challenges faced by young men aged 18–29, particularly those struggling with Failure to Launch Syndrome – a term describing difficulties in transitioning into independent adulthood. The vision of the program is to provide innovative support and resources to help young men achieve complete independence within a structured timeframe.

Over my 13 years of experience as a school guidance counselor, associate psychologist, coach, and mentor, I’ve encountered countless young men struggling with Failure to Launch Syndrome – bright, talented individuals who feel stuck, uncertain about their futures, and lacking the tools to navigate adulthood confidently.

While some sought professional help, they were often placed in programs designed for drug addicts, criminals, or individuals battling severe mental illness. Though these programs served critical purposes, they failed to address the unique needs of young men who simply lacked the right guidance and structure to transition successfully into independent adulthood. These misplacements left promising young men without adequate support, reinforcing feelings of hopelessness and stagnation.

This reality fueled my passion to create the Motivation & Assistance for Life Empowerment (MALE) Program – a structured, holistic initiative designed specifically for young men who need guidance, life skills, and mentorship to thrive.

The MALE Program represents a new beginning, offering young men the chance to regain their confidence and purpose. Through career development, financial literacy, mental wellness support, and personal growth, we aim to equip participants with practical tools they can carry forward into adulthood. By connecting them with mentors, job opportunities, and essential life resources, the program fosters self-sufficiency, leadership, and resilience.

Moreover, the initiative presents an opportunity to change the narrative around young men’s struggles – shifting public perception from judgment to support. Rather than labeling these individuals as failures, the MALE Program acknowledges their potential and provides a path to success.

Through my work with The MALE Program, it’s my wish to continue to make a lasting impact, helping young men build confidence, resilience, and long-term success. My dedication and passion to empowering individual, whether in relationships or personal development, remain at the heart of everything I do.

“If I can help someone as I pass along, then my living shall not be in vain.” – Alma Bazel Androzzo
