Calling All Transition Actors! Playback Theatre for Transition

Posted on February 2, 2009 at 9:00am 4 Comments 0 Likes

Hello, Fellow Transitioners!

I am a long time practitioner of a community building theatre method called “playback” that is practiced all over the world.

Les has asked me to start a discussion about playback for Transition, and Judith and Lawrence in California have chimed interest.

So, I thought I'd put up some basics in a blog post, and then direct you to some great written resources and websites for more about how you can become a Transition Playback Actor...

At 9:35am on January 26, 2009, Les Squires said…: The purpose of playback is to make "ordinary lives seem extraordinary"

I've never heard of playback. I'm impressed. Could you do all of us the favor of starting a Discussion here on this site... Lay out the basic philosophies, provide a few links, and events so some of us could attend playback productions. Videos?

At 8:44am on January 26, 2009, Judith Newton said…: Hello Mimi!

I'm very intrigued by the idea of incorporating theatre into Transition work. I came across the idea of "playback theatre" over at the Presencing networking site and I thought you might like to see it, too. Do you have any ideas how to bring this into our communities? Just contact the local university theatre dept?

At 3:05pm on January 25, 2009, Les Squires said…: Welcome Mimi! Delighted to see you here, and working with Sarah. What do you mean by "community building theater" -- I'm curious.
