Playback Theatre workshop on the Long Form in Playback Theatre
with Devrim Nicolò Turletti in Athens
ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
This is a workshop for Playback Theatre practitioners who would like to dig deeper into the art of enacting the Long Form on stage. Together, we will tackle many topics that are essential elements for mastering the long form, such as:
* How to hear for the heart of the story;
* The dynamic (or stages) of the narrative;
* The echoes of the story;
* Practical elements to bring on stage;
* Can all stories be portrayed with a Long Form?
* Metaphors and meanings;
* Roles of the teller’s actor and ninjas;
* Creating our company’s ritual for the Long Form;
* Conducting the interview.
The Long Form is the true heart of the Playback Theatre performance. In this workshop we will talk also about why is that so; which are the reasons why it is so important in the arc of the performance.
We will use techniques and exercises based on the elements listed above as well as coaching the participants during the enactments.
