What is Playback?
Playback Theatre is a type of improvisation that honors audience members’ true stories volunteered in the moment.
Playback uses deep listening and movement, voice, music, metaphor, narrative, and song to honor the storyteller’s lived experience.
The aim:
bring people together
honor the universal in our shared lived experience
dissolve the illusion of separateness between us
Playback performances are collaborative, creative, community-building events, designed to deepen connections between individuals and groups.
