Based on five case studies and informed by play theory, it argues that the playful elements of theatre processes nurture a unique intimacy among diverse people.  However, this playful quality can also dampen explicit conversations about participants’ cultural differences, and defer an interrogation of people’s own entrenchment in systemic power imbalances. As a result, addressing these differences and imbalances in applied theatre contexts may require particular strategies. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eElliot Leffler\u003c\/b\u003e is Assistant Professor of Theatre and Performance at the University of Toronto in Canada.
