Weekly recap 🎭

Online talk on Forum Theatre: This style of participatory theatre is a powerful tool for conflict resolution, looking forward to running the online training programme with Ouch Theatre starting next week

Reconnect post-programme evaluation call with Kathrin: We're thrilled by the great feedback and are already starting to plan our June Reconnect programme.

Currently on day three of Theatre Training with INCA Catalunya: Today on this Erasmus+ training we explored site-specific theatre through Romeo and Juliet as the stimulus.

A few things stayed with me this week that I would like to share:

Theatre is not just about acting. It’s about creating under pressure. It’s about understanding the human experience. It’s about communication, both with ourselves and with others.

Also loved learning from other practitioners like Emanuele Nargi and seeing how different styles apart from my own can work and be adapted across contexts.

P.S. Yes that is me being lifted by people who just 3 days ago were strangers. Yes I fully trust them. Yes, that is the power of theatre.
