We had a wonderful first dress rehearsal yesterday, and huge thanks go to A/Prof Tobba Sudmann who offered a perfect example of what the course strives to do. It was innovative, thought-provoking and moving, in every sense of the word. A full audio-recording of Tobba's talk and the following discussion is here, along with a pdf of her slides (with additional prompt questions).
