Who should attend?
Through a three-day interactive process, participants will have the opportunity to be immersed in the rich atmosphere and dynamics of the playback experience. Participants will learn the basics of playback theatre, with opportunities to practice the key forms including -- scenes, fluid sculptures, and pairs. They will also explore the roles of the conductor and musician.
If you are looking for ways to engage a large crowd or specific groups of people in an interactive manner; learning and exploring on how playback can be utilized in your present work; searching alternative and creative ways to discuss community issues (eg.roles, relationships, family and work); or just want to get ideas to conduct fun and enjoyable warm-up activities, then THIS IS THE COURSE YOU WANT TO ATTEND!
This course is ideal for teachers, youth workers and social workers, counsellors, therapists and anyone who would like to learn a new theatre form which promotes improvisation, spontaneity and creativity!
Comments from Past Participants:
I appreciate the insights and the process of Playback Theatre. I learnt more about awareness and listening for the essence of the stories. Great Job, Anne and Jerry! Your efforts are appreciated and the facilitation was very clear. ~Mr. Aaron Ng, Church Worker~
Great workshop! I never attended such an interactive and participative workshop before! I would recommend this to my principal and get both of you to come to my school to run such a workshop for my students! ~Ms. Lee Ji Wen, Social Worker~
Fun! Cool! I realised one must come with an open mind and heart to benefit the most from what we have done in this workshop. ~Ms. Fiona Koh, Special Education Teacher~
I found out how Playback can be used in lessons and how it can be an avenue of "theatre". I found the hands-on session to be particularly useful.~Ms. Wee Jer Wen, Secondary School Teacher~
