During the Playback Theatre leadership training, an important requirement is to write an essay that delves into a specific aspect of our experience. I initially struggled with finding a compelling theme. I wanted to write about something important. However, through discussions with my fellow leadership companions about improvisation, I had an epiphany – the answer had been within me for a considerable period. I am an improviser, and I am a dedicated Playback Theatre practitioner. Both things are important to me. All that remained was to connect the dots. The culmination of this realization is the essay that I am pleased to share with you all. I hope you enjoy it.
