Description
What Is It?
Playback Theatre is an original form of improvisational theatre in which audience or group members tell stories from their lives, and watch them enacted on the spot by an ensemble of actors.
The Magic of Playback
"When it works, which is 90 percent of the time, Playback Theatre creates an intense burst of mysterious, lovely, life-affirming human energy."
How Does It Work?
Playback is an improvisational storytelling form in which audience stories are played back on the spot by an ensemble of trained actors. After a story is told there is no pre-planning, just a musical interlude as the actors set up for the scene. When the music stops the story begins! The focus is on illuminating the essence or heart of the story, so the work is not always comedic, but depends on the content of the story. Several or more stories are done in an evening of Playback Theatre. The audience sees that their stories are honored in a creative, dynamic way.
