Maybe If

Maybe if I remembered

Maybe if I forgot

Maybe if I said something

Maybe if I had not

Maybe if I left

Maybe if I stayed

Maybe if I gave up

Maybe if I prayed

Maybe if I came to a playback show today

Maybe if I told my story today.

Maybe if I listened today.

Come share your stories as we playback to the theme of Maybe If.

Watch and listen as your stories come to life with movement, word, music and cloth!

Playback Theatre is an improvisational form of community theatre, that honours the individual voices, and builds community through the commonalities in our stories.

27th Sept - 7:30pm

28th Sept - 3pm

Venue:

Goodman Arts Centre

Blk B, #01- 07

August Open Rehearsal & sharing of TPG

Dear friends,

Join us for our Open Rehearsal from 7pm to 9:30pm on 30th August, at the Toa Payoh Central Community Club Dance Studio.

This time round, we will also have a short sharing of our experience performing, and attending workshops, at the recent Taiwan Playback Gathering in July.

We welcome one and all to join our little community in exploring and practicing Playback Theatre in an open, safe and informal space.

Come and try out the different roles in Playback - the musician, the story-teller and the actor!

But do book your slot fast, because as much as we hope to accomodate everyone, our space is limited. Go to www.amiando.com/ORAug now!

The event is free, but please help support the practice of this community-based theatre with a small donation when you come.

This event is supported by Toa Payoh Central Community Club and PassonArts.

The Countdown Begins. Maybe If

The countdown begins. 27-28 Sept. Goodman Arts Centre. Tickets on sale soon.
Spread the word please! #MaybeIf

Our performance @ Taiwan Playback Gathering 2014

Please enjoy the photos of our second overseas performance (the first was in Cambodia many years back!). 

A tremendously humbling and beautiful experience for all of us involved. We were definitely honoured and privileged to be there, to learn, to exchange and to serve the stories.

Our gratitude to 南飛嚼事 and the Taiwan Playback Theatre Association for inviting us! 

Many thanks to the National Arts Council for their support of this trip!

Our pre-show ritual. It's captured on our t-shirts as well! T-shirts for sale at all our events!

Warming up with our new Gongfu exercise!

A moment of calm, of expanding our senses, of supporting one another, of readiness. 

Our opening. Sharing our own stories of sacrifice, hardships, joy and mixed feelings of coming to TPG, of practising Playback Theatre.
來到了TPG, 我們放下了甚麼， 放開了甚麼？ 有甚麼放不下的？我們做這戲劇犧牲了甚麼？

"我們到了。"

The conductor conducts. The process enters another stage. 

Our instruments, our voices, our souls. That emotional connections among the stories, among those present, both listening and sharing. 

I ask. You tell. I listen. We connect. Let's watch.

Playback Theatre promotes connections that breaks cultural boundaries. Laura was chosen to be the teller-actor in two stories. It is beautiful to see. 

瘋子！
