summary
Uses Playback theater techniques—playback theater rituals, actor introductions, a conductor role and improvisational "yes and"—plus sociometry to map social choices and create a safe or “soft space.” Applies breakout pairs, active-listening training and a code of ethics to open participation. Claims measurable stakes (an estimated $160 trillion loss in human capital from gender inequity; 4–6% GDP uplift if racial gaps close) and practical outcomes: stronger facilitator confidence, more audience sharing, deeper connections (groups linger to talk for 30–60 minutes).
