Playback Theatre Core Skills Training

ABOUT THE TRAINING

Playback Theatre is a form of improvisational theatre where people in the audience share something about themselves and the performers on stage play it back for them. 

In other words, 4 actors, one musician and a conductor listen to our personal stories and use their creativity to mirror them immediately on the scene, so that we can witness our narrations on the spot. 

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

To be a Playback Theatre actor we don’t need any previous experience or skill in acting or performing. This is a theatre that can be done by everyone, as it’s based on the spontaneity of movement and sound. 

The program includes: 

</  training in the use of the body and voice as improvisational tools; 

</  training in the basic forms of Playback Theatre;

</  history, theory and basic rules of PT;

</  introduction to conducting; 

</  introduction to improvising music;

</  the ritual and the arc of the performance; 

</  Playback Theatre as a form of art; 

</  Playback Theatre as a tool for social justice.

 

From last group in OSHO Afroz

 

Playback Theatre is a practice that enables us to talk about the stories that are stored in our bodies. By sharing them in a safe(R) space, we can see them, transform them and let them go. It is a theatre of social engagement where we get to build community together, acknowledge each other and communicate non-violently. 

The biggest skill we will be training is listening with our body. This is essential to deeply understand the story and be able to embody it fully on stage. From a deeper form of listening, a greater form of understanding and compassion will arise. 

This training will give us the basics to become the so-called citizen actor: a representative of their community ready to listen to the stories of their fellow citizens and play them back as an act of service, with artistry, rituality and social awareness.
