Saying Hello - a joint performance by SG & HK playbackers!

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.

Tapestry Playback Theatre is on Facebook, Twitter (@TapestryPT) and at tapestryplayback.blogspot.com.

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.
