Who's Next Door? A collaboraton with Singapore Kindness Movement

What kind of neighbourhood do we want to live in? What kind of neighbours do we become? What kind of society do we want to build? All these depend on you.
This year, we are using a form of unique improvisation called Playback Theatre, to help us create conversations around the issue of neighbourliness.
We want to hear your stories of ugly or wonderful neighbours. We want to know about the beautiful and unpleasant incidents that happened in your estate. We want to know what you feel about these incidents. And we want to learn from what you share.
What stories do you have to share about where you live? How can we encourage one another to take an interest in, care for, and support the people around us?
Who is next door? That is one of the key questions of community building. And the answer depends on you.
Produced By: Tapestry Playback Theatre
Presented By: Singapore Kindness Movement

Photos from Fools R Us!

Playback Rhapsody Sessions (April 1st, 2017) is Tapestry's new initiative, in addition to our ticketed performances, Open Rehearsals, and Training Workshops.
This is 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.
With our ticketed performances moving towards socially-relevant themes, Playback Rhapsody Sessions will take on a lighter flavour, with the first one titled "Fools R Us!".
Red Noses for all! 
Silly games and letting go! 


Finding out more about one another! 

Everyone takes a turn in making themed still sculptures!

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.

What do we do to take better care of ourselves, and of the ensemble? 
What stories do we tell one another? 

Where do we go from here?
What do we look forward to in our 15th year?

Photos from our July Open Rehearsal (July 29, 2016)

Thank you for coming to our Open Rehearsal last Saturday! We began our session with getting to know each other (through our footwear!) and followed that by by exploring the traditional pairs form. Then we came together to share and playback stories for each other. Thank you for your stories. And thank you for sharing this "theatre of neighbours" that we love so much. See you next month!
