    • “Playback Theatre has heightened my listening and improvisation skills, enabling me to give back tellers' stories with confidence—as a Citizen Actor, a Musician, and especially in my role as a Conductor. I’m looking forward to being one of the trusted Conductors from South Africa, if not the Global South.”

    • "A transformative journey. I deepened my understanding of listening with empathy, improvising with intention, and using performance as a tool for social connection and healing. The course created a safe, playful space for growth, where every story shared reminded me of the power of community."
