Our performance at Yishun Community Hospital

Last night, staff from the soon-to-be-opened Yishun Community Hospital shared stories of their journeys in healthcare with us.
It was beautiful to witness the coming together of a community through sharing and watching their stories enacted on stage.
At the end, the short forms we used to close the show, were about "we are all in this together" and "we all want to make a difference".
Inspiring when it all comes together. Touching when Playback makes a difference.
Privileged to be witnessing and doing this work.
Big thanks to YCH, ArtsWok Collaborative and our volunteers Hao Boon and Sofia.

Tapestry Playback Theatre @ the Asia Pacific Playback Conference in Hong Kong (27th-29th Nov, 2015)

Moments from our performance If I Could @ the Asia Pacific Playback Conference in Hong Kong (27th-29th Nov, 2015)

Words are insufficient to express our gratitude at this opportunity to play back the deep personal stories of our Asian colleagues.

Stories of love...stories of identity...stories of childhood...stories of us.

Photos from If This Isn't Love

Thank you everyone for your support at If This Isn't Love. Here are some comments we gathered from the audience. Enjoy the photos! 


Audience Comments:
“Amazing acting and theatre work. Such amazing teamwork. Well-oiled team. Very emotive and heart wrenchingly real. Appreciate the talent filled with commitment to the art form.”

“Portrayed each story accurately and the teamwork was amazing!! This is an excellent way for us to come to terms with our feelings. i.e. seeing it unfold with our eyes. It's very therapeutic and helpful.”

“Splendid, wonderful performance. Certain aspects of the stories shared had shone through the performance. The light music accompaniment and fabric used were on point. I think though there could have been more audience engagement at the back though. It is truly the most remarkable playback theatre performance I have got to see.”

“It was great! The stories were well performed and the facilitator was very experienced and sensitive. The actors and musician worked well together. Such a great team!”
