Bartosz Nowakowski, theatre director, shares some rich lessons from his work with actors, young people and struggling communities.

Here he discusses with Julia Outlaw some of his insights from connecting with actors, Bosnian refugees, teenagers and prisoners - and what it takes to feel good with ourselves, and then with others.
