Listening Hours

to May 15

Listening Hours

The Listening Hour is an hour in which we meet to share our personal stories and to listen to others’. The whole process is facilitated by a Guide, who at the end weaves together all the stories in a common narration. By highlighting the common meaning of the stories, the Guide links our experiences suggesting that my story is your story too. As a result, we often feel belonging, connected, filled with meaning and whole.

Playback Theatre Core Skills Training

During this training we will learn the basic skills of Playback Theatre, to be ready to perform as an actor on stage. Our main tools will be our body, voice and creativity.

The Sound of Words Without a Voice: Unlocking Artistic and Poetic Expression in Playback Theatre

In this weekend workshop, we will explore the art of acting on the Playback stage. Often, Playback actors simply show, illustrate or amplify the actions, facts, thoughts and feelings described by the teller. Those techniques alone rarely deliver a transformative experience.

Playback For All - The ACT APPROACH

Inclusion is really not about inclusion, it’s a conscious practice of non-exclusion. If you have ever felt unwelcome or the odd one out in any social situation, you probably understand what this really means. Your choice to attend something, a lot of times, can depend more on what’s not there rather than what’s there. And the tiny detail that’s not there, in some cases, reads louder than all the perks that have been listed. That detail call out as an “un-invite” rather than an “invite”.

Boundaries - in the Playback Theatre performance

Boundaries - in the Playback Theatre performance

In this 2-day workshop we will learn how to listen more deeply, with our whole body, in order to find in it the right input to give an appropriate response to a story. When we truly listen, when we are open to receive the resonance from our senses, our playback performance can only be true, spontaneous and genuine.

Once we learn how to truly listen, the confusion around the boundaries of stories disappears.

Our bodies know.

to Feb 4

Rituali - nel Playback Theatre e oltre

In questo workshop esploreremo la struttura del rituale, ripulendola e chiarendo cosa ne faccia parte e cosa no. Poi, ci dedicheremo a rompere i nostri rituali personali, trovando nuove forme espressive e ad individuare le tradizioni da mantenere, rinfrescando il nostro rapporto con il Playback.

Dedicheremo una parte del weekend alla supervisione e vedremo come il rituale possa esserci d’aiuto nel trovare risposta alle nostre domande. Porta la tua!

Express your Heart - Playback Theatre Intensive

to Sep 18

Express your Heart - Playback Theatre Intensive

This event is a two-days intensive Playback Theatre workshop where we are going to play with our creativity, exploring physical and vocal expression and reconnecting with our spontaneity.

In such complex times, we may feel easily emotional: sometimes it is hard to hold on to something stable when everything around us is going fast and constantly changing. The practice of conscious theatrical improvisation allows us to discover our true self, the part of us that is authentic and not ever changing according to the circumstances. Our center, our heart.

June LAB: What’s going on? - Let’s watch it with Playback Theatre

When we improvise we are true, we are our authentic self. And whatever we do on stage is, in some way, a reflection of what we do in our life, of who we are. Becoming aware of this is the only purpose of this laboratory. Together, we are going to use improvisational theatre as a tool to become more aware of ourselves, more present and more whole.

Listening Hour

to May 20

Listening Hour

In our ordinary day it’s not easy to find time and space where to share. It’s more and more difficult to listen and be heard truly. Everything moves fast, everyone is preoccupied and distracted. We rush through everything without taking the time to really meet.
