Playback Rhapsody - Lion City Zootopia

Hello guys!

Welcome back to our Playback Rhapsody Series, our free shows for the community!

Playback Rhapsody Series is Tapestry's community engagement initiative, in addition to our ticketed performances, Open Rehearsals, and Training Workshops. 

We hope this can be a platform for community-building through the sharing of stories! It is also a valuable opportunity for our team to build skills and chemistry, particularly for members (old and new) who want to practice new roles.

Our upcoming Playback Rhapsody session - Lion City Zootopia is happening on 21st April 2018, 7pm at Toa Payoh Central Community Club, Dance Studio level 2 (Opposite the library @ 93 Toa Payoh Central Singapore 319194). 

Come join us to hear and share stories of encountering animals in Singapore!

We hope to accommodate as many of you as we can, but there are limited spaces, so get your ticket now at https://lioncityzootopia.peatix.com

The event is free, but please support our practice with a donation. =)

Friends from the Deaf Community are welcome to join us! (Please leave a comment on our Facebook page to inform us if you're keen. Sign Language interpretation is available.)

Email us at tapestry.ticketing@gmail.com if you have any questions!

Thank you and see you soon!

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.

If this isn't Love - a Playback Theatre performance (24th & 25th October 2015)

Show dates: 24th Oct (7:30pm) & 25th Oct (3pm)
Tickets from IfThisIsntLove.peatix.comStandard $20, Eary Bird $17.

An interactive event. An improvisational form. A community theatre engagement. A Playback Theatre performance.


In Playback Theatre, the audience is invited to share moments and stories triggered by the theme. Performers will then spontaneously enact them in short dramatic vignettes, using elements of cloth, music, movement, and spoken word.


Come and join us. Share a story. Watch another’s story. Build community with us.

Playback theatre is a unique form of improvisational, interactive theatre that combines the oral traditions of storytelling, the use of rituals, deep listening skills and various performing styles.

Essentially, playback theatre uses the arts as an act of service to affirm each person's uniqueness, and at the same time, builds and strengthens our connections to each other as a community of people.

Pictures from the Apprentice Programme Showcase!

Our apprentices completed their Apprentice Programme with a showcase performance. The theme was New Beginnings, which aptly described their entry into the world of playback theatre.

Congratulations to Elaine, Xiao Ying, Evelyn and Wendy for completing the Apprentice Programme.

You guys did great at the Showcase!

A big thank you also goes out to the audience who came to support our young playbackers and told such delightful stories.

More pictures coming your way soon!

We are planning for another Apprentice Programme in 2011. Watch this space for details!
