WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION

In this 6-day introductory workshop, we will learn and practice the basic elements of Playback Theatre. In particular, we will identify and develop the skills needed for transforming true stories into improvised enactments that are rich in artistry, attunement and effective ensemble work.

In addition to learning various Playback performance forms, we will also focus on voice development, movement practice, acting skills and group improvisation.

Over the duration of the workshop, participants will gain experience in the roles of Conductor (facilitator), Actor and Musician. We will also experience the structure of a full Playback performance from beginning to end. Learning and exchange will occur in a safe environment that promotes expression, playfulness, creativity, experiential discovery and critical thinking.

PLAYBACK THEATRE
Playback Theatre involves a collaborative process where audience members volunteer true stories from their own lives. Following each story, a team of actors and musicians instantly transform the teller’s account into a short, improvised enactment.
Jonathan Fox along with Jo Salas founded the Playback Theatre method in 1975.
Playback is now used in over 60 countries as a way to promote community building, dialogue and collective trauma response.
