Playback Theatre (PT) training with youth may be uniquely suited to enable the development of healthy pro-social behaviour amongst adolescents. In this study, 22 participants who were engaged in the Keep the Peace Leadership Program (KPLP), a PT initiative addressing themes of bullying perpetration and victimization, were interviewed about their experience. Qualitative findings were translated into an ethnodramatic play entitled Phoenix Rising to illuminate how PT fostered dialogue about different kinds of bullying.

Abstract Veissière and colleagues make a valiant attempt at reconciling an internalist account of implicit cultural learning with an externalist account that understands social behaviour in terms of its environment-involving dynamics. However, unfortunately the author's attempt to forge a middle way between internalism and externalism fails. We argue their failure stems from the overly individualistic understanding of the perception of cultural affordances they propose.
