One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Mmm I think when I gave theatre classes to children, with a theatre method called "theatre of the opressed". Was an awesome experience for me because the sensitivity of the children before and after changed totally, at the beginning, they were so shy, but when the course finished, they could express themselves freely, with trust, and their coexistence with the partners improved positively.
