June Open Rehearsal - last one before we take a break...

Hi guys~!! Come join us at this June Open Rehearsal. It will be our last session before we take a break. =)

The first half of the session consists of drama activities and learning a Playback form. In the second half, we will put everything together, share our stories, and give these stories artistic shape through improvisation.

This is a wonderful space to connect with one another, and to share our stories in this Theatre of Neighbours. Come and explore Playback Theatre, and have a chance to practise the different roles like the musician, the actor or the storyteller!

So do come dress comfortably and be ready to have fun.

Join us at the Toa Payoh Central Community Club Dance Studio (Opposite the library @ 93 Toa Payoh Central Singapore 319194).

We hope to accommodate as many of you as we can, but have limited space, so get your ticket now at http://june2018or.peatix.com!!

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.

Photos from the Aug Open Rehearsal

The idea of open rehearsals has always been a platform for us to advocate for Playback Theatre, and to have a space for us to connect and play with people who have learnt Playback, but do not have a  group to practise with. 

Each and every time, we're touched by the generosity of people, and the oneness and feel of community that Playback can create. 

We truly hope this community grows. And more and more people will get to know this wonderful craft that can help make the world a better place. 

See you at our Open Rehearsals in 2018!

Coming together and connecting.

Learning about Corridors, a narrative short form used in Playback Theatre.

In an open rehearsal, anyone can take the stage and try out the different dramatic structures (forms) we use in Playback Theatre.

Thank you everyone for coming to our last OR of 2017. We're privileged to share this space with you, and to hear your stories.
