What We’ve Done
… & What They’re Saying
“I have been practicing plaintiff’s personal injury trial work for almost 40 years, and I found the methods demonstrated by APT to be very innovative and practical. Their techniques can help lawyers reclaim courtroom presence and hold juries’ attention. This training would have been valuable in my early career”
Applied Performance Training
Austin, TX
“Unifying a jury panel and the jury is crucial in my trials. APT’s training and techniques helped me get in touch with that goal and helped me better understand and embody concepts that I intuitively employ in a jury trial. Highly recommend the program.”
“This session is about being aware of how your body is moving, being aware of what other people’s body language is and the tools to acknowledge how energy is being transferred in a group.
”
“I learned how to be confident with being uncomfortable.
Used the performing arts to help improve my skills as an attorney. Gained insight into aspects of my practice that I rarely get to consider.
I hope to put what I learned to good use soon. ”
Global Peace Exchange

“I came to better understand cultural violence and the individuals who are impacted by the long history of such violence and misunderstanding. I learned about my own trauma and how to allow others to help me, love me, hug me, and give me advice. I listened. I heard.”
“I learned that individual and community failings and problems are often misattributed to “outer circumstances”. But by focusing our attention inwardly we enable authentic conversations about sustainable solutions.”
“I recognized a big change on the inside that changed my perspective”
““I gained a lot of new friends from all over and learned how easy it is to connect. Thanks to how these exercises are carried out, I am more open and hopeful.””
“The support has been tremendous and most appreciated. I can pass along this love and support in my words, actions, and speech to others in my family, circle of friends, and community”

refreshed and look back on your past behavior and your progress. ”

between every individual in the group. I also challenged myself to bring change to my community.”

“We started by looking at how to integrate but ended up looking deeper into ourselves. It’s easy to look outside and see the issues out there, but it’s more about me and how I relate to everybody around me. There are connections between our differences and our similarities.”
““It’s infinitely more interesting to connect deeply with someone else rather than talking about the weather, music, and food!””
““I feel completely different and fulfilled every time I leave. I feel like I’m part of society again. I feel seen.””

Trustbuilding & Community building
International Peacebuilder’s Forum
Caux, Switzerland
““Thanks to the efforts of the organizers, facilitators and everyone at the International Peacebuilder’s Forum. In a very short time it was possible to create an atmosphere of security, trust and acceptance. I got the inspiration and confidence that human wisdom and humanism are stronger than destructive actions, that the open heart of just one person can be a healing agent for many others.””
““I gained a lot of new friends and people I can draw from in the future. I love that the perspectives represent lots of different cultures and countries””

Integration & Trustbuilding Programs, Sweden/Germany
“The professionalism of this newly formed theatre company has blossomed into its adolescence and is swiftly reaching adulthood.”
““I know a lot of people who don’t want to connect with others because of language, but in these workshops we saw that you can actually be in the same room together without speaking the same language and we can laugh and get to know each other beyond the language.””
““It’s helped my social phobia a lot. After our group warm-ups, when we have seen and heard everyone (including being seen and heard myself), I realized I don’t mind being pushed outside my comfort zone.””
“It was incredibly relevant to see the reaction of how close I like to be to other people and the uncomfortable feeling when someone else is too close. This comes up in everyday life, it’s really important to be able to notice.””
