Tapestry at Buddhist Fellowship Youths Theatre Camp

In December 2008, Tapestry Playback Theatre was asked to facilitate a theatre camp organized by the Buddhist Fellowship Youths.

Over 50 youths came together for the BF Youth Theatre Camp, which aimed to help participants to conquer their fears through the use of drama, and to develop self confidence through performing before a live audience.

About Playback Theatre

Playback Theatre is a unique form of improvisational theatre that engages people to share their stories or moments from their life, and gives them an opportunity to see their stories recreated immediately on stage.

It combines the oral traditions of story-telling, 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.

The original Playback Theatre company was founded in New York in 1975, with Jonathan Fox as its director. Since then, Playback Theatre has spread across the world with companies and practitioners in over 30 countries. It flourishes in a variety of settings from community theatre to professional service to both the business and social sector.
