Between the Lines - a Playback Theatre performance.
Cause I can't continue pretending to choose
The opposite sides on which we fall
The loving you laters if at all
No right minds could wrong be this many times
~ lyrics from Between the Lines by Sarah Bareilles
Caught between the lines of fire, choosing sides, feeling like we don't belong.
Making a stand, finding our voices, building a world without boundaries.
What are your stories of Between the Lines?
Watch as our performers transform your stories into improvisations of movement, music, and spoken word.
Listen as our community comes together and connects through our experiences living in this world.
The opposite sides on which we fall

Playback Theatre. The power of stories. Any story. All stories. Someone shares a moment, and the performers will playback it back, with movement, sound, music, cloth and embodiment. Any life moment is played - happy or sad, hilarious or humdrum. It can produce change, new insights and feelings, and even transformation, through the atmosphere of affirmation, creativity and reflection.
This event is supported by Toa Payoh Central Community Club and PassionArts.
