I am an English and Theatre student from the University of Warwick in the UK, currently studying on Eramus in Berlin. I have been working with Inka, Minna and the IPTB since November. Within our group I have found so much to celebrate and be grateful for. From a theatre perspective I have learnt so much about how theatre enriches and emboldens peoples lives and sense of themselves. We come together to share and create- this is clearly a tonic for so many in the group, allowing them this precious space to be themselves, be someone else and just feel comfortable. Having said this I also find an important part of what we are doing is pushing each other and ourselves to explore the more difficult questions about our identities and our societies. This kind of work is important, it has taught me so much and I now want to make it part of my life and my career in the future.
