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.

18/4/2015. Day 3: Stories for Change - Playback Theatre Core Training

Day 3: We explored different music instruments, and the roles, power and impact of music in Playback Theatre. We shared more stories from our lives, and found ourselves closer to one another, and closer to ourselves. Now we take a pause, to digest, to feel, to reflect, and to return refreshed next week.

16/4/2015. Day 1: Stories for Change - Playback Theatre Core Training

We have begun! A day of games, fluid sculptures and pairs. More to come tomorrow. 

Photos from our last performance!

Tapestry Playback Theatre performed at Singapore International Foundation's A Theatrical Perspective:Making a Difference through International Volunteerism on 26th June 2013.

It was a wonderful night of humour and heart, manifested in stories of sacrifice, courage and personal growth.

Thank you SIF for giving us the chance to play back the stories of international volunteerism. =)
