Tapestry Updates!

Dear friends, 

hope you've had a restful Labour Day weekend! 

Tapestry has had a busy April, and would like to share some of our work with you.

We finished a 12-hour programme at Tan Tock Seng Hospital, as part of a support group for people with HIV.

This was a powerful experience, and gave us more insights into the impact of Playback. We look forward to furthering this work. 

Stories for Change - Playback Theatre Core Training, a 40-hour playback workshop, was completed in April as well. More playbackers! Yay!

Check out the photos in our previous post! And Let us know if you want to be kept informed of the next workshop. =) 

We also had our second Open Rehearsal in April! Were you there?

This was one of the most international group of people we've had. People came from Australia, Italy, the UK, Malaysia and Indonesia, to share and enact stories with one another. Check out our previous post!

We hope to see you all at our next Open Rehearsal, which is all the way in September. 

We have been really busy wrapping up these projects, and now, we're looking forward to our first playback show of the year, Ctrl+Alt+Del!

Get your tickets from CtrlAltDel.peatix.com. It's our first time on this platform, so let us know how it goes for you! 

Spread the word and see you in the theatre!

Thank you for coming to make this Open Rehearsal a memorable one, with visitors from England, Australia, Holland, Indonesia and Malaysia!

Stories for Change - Core Training 2015 completed!

Stories for Change - Playback Theatre Core Training, a 40-hour workshop was completed over the last 2 weeks. 

The smiles, the tears, the hugs have transformed these 12 people into friends with a special connection and a community of playbackers. 

We feel privileged to share your stories and be a part of the beginning of your playback journey. Lots of love to each of you, and wishing you all many beautiful stories to come. 

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.

17/4/2015/ Day 2: Stories for Change - Playback Theatre Core Training

The group is coming together. The stories are surfacing. A beautiful day of sharing and playing. 

We are grateful for the generosity and spontaneity. Day 3 tomorrow, before we take a short break.

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.

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.
