Playback Theatre Intensive in Nanjing: Weekly Recap, 9 January 2026
· 1 min read
First full week of work back after the holidays, and already planting seeds for what’s next. Weekly recap 👇
🎭 Started 2026 learning! My first few days of the year I attended a 3-day Playback Theatre intensive in Nanjing. Storytelling, deep listening, and improvisation, and plenty of ideas already brewing for future work.
🤝 Reconnecting with old colleagues and friends. From Montessori education to AI startups, it was energising to see such diverse paths, and to sense new collaborations forming at the intersection of creativity and innovation.
🎓 Wrapped up the final session of my Drama in Education online series, guiding participants from experience → theory → to designing their own workshops. Excited to see these ideas ripple outward and for the next series that starts next week.
🌏 Heading now to chat with the head of a local English centre here in Taiwan, exploring early conversations on how to make lessons more embodied, engaging for their learners.
Hit the ground running in some ways, but also being intentional about making space to rest and reflect.
