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

It 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.

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.

More pictures coming your way soon!

We are planning for another Apprentice Programme in 2011. Watch this space for details!
