Why Movement and Theatre Are Essential for Better Relationships, Confidence, and Leadership
Movement and theatre play a powerful role in improving relationships, confidence, communication, and leadership. While the mind analyses stress and emotions, the body carries and expresses them.

This embodied approach helps reduce resentment, build presence at work, and create healthier, more authentic connections in everyday life.

The Psychology Behind Anti-Immigrant Protests Around the World (and what it reveals about us)
Anti-immigration protests are rising worldwide, but the reasons run deeper than politics or economics. They reflect core human needs from Maslow’s hierarchy—safety, belonging, and esteem—combined with psychological biases like in-group vs out-group and zero-sum thinking. While natives protest out of fear of loss, immigrants face stress, exclusion, and identity conflict. Building stronger self-identity can reduce hostility and create more inclusive societies.
