Play Back Theatre
Someone tells a story or moment from their life, the playback conductor will select actors to play the different roles in the story. The audience watches as their story is recreated and given artistic shape and coherence. This is a spontaneous process.
Key Learning:
- Improvisation is what really happens during the performance on stage.
- What brings the performance together is the knowledge of Playback Theatre techniques, experience, and a healthy amount of faith.
- The real magic is how the group is able to dive into the depth of a story to experience its essence and to allow the audience to experience the same.
