For me, theatre is everywhere, thatโs what drew me to it in the first place. Itโs not confined to stages; itโs in how we learn, connect, innovate, grow. This weekโs recap is my celebration of that.
From work…

Drama techniques like freeze frame and thought tap brought vocab to life, sparking critical thinking. One teacher shared: “๐๐น๐ค๐ช๐ต๐ฆ๐ฅ ๐ต๐ฐ ๐ถ๐ด๐ฆ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ด๐ฆ ๐ต๐ฐ ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ฐ๐ธ๐ฆ๐ณ ๐ฎ๐บ ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ข๐ณ๐ฏ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ด.” Yes!

To pleasure…

In my eyes, theatre connects everything, classrooms, history lessons, stories on the screen…
Leaving you with this photo of me in action during Playback Theatre training back in January. What story do you think we’re telling?
