Since joining Encounter Playback Theatre in 2009, I have been deeply grateful for the opportunities to grow alongside this inspiring company. Through regular rehearsals, impactful performances in diverse communities, and participation in international conferences, I have honed my skills as a Playback Theatre practitioner. These experiences have not only deepened my understanding of improvisational storytelling but also enriched my ability to connect with people from varied backgrounds, using theatre as a powerful medium for empathy and transformation. Encounter Playback Theatre has been instrumental in shaping my journey, providing a nurturing space for creativity, collaboration, and professional development.
