Audience Response
I thought that this was a great conference, but when the Threshold Ensemble brought us all together at the end, any remaining walls came tumbling down. A superb experience, all in all.

I liked the opportunities for the externalization of the internal process. The authenticity, spontaneity and respect you bring make it a powerful medium. It gets to the deeper human issues that are relevant to all of us.

The Playback performance by your group helped to bring staff concerns out into the open. It also validated their ability to take personal control of their situations, and to begin to trust the new administration to listen and respond to questions and suggestions.

Threshold Ensemble was the perfect closure for our conference…their performance wove together the experiences of everyone who attended. Let me share some of the feedback: ‘…when the Threshold Ensemble brought us all together at the end, any remaining walls came tumbling down.’ ‘Playback Theater was the best part of the entire conference.’ ‘Threshold Ensemble was a fabulous closing and resolution…’ ‘…exquisite…I was motivated, excited, touched…’

The experience was powerfully moving, and participants were especially struck by the actors’ incredible ability to listen, which is a central theme for our grant project.
