Our stories connect us, our stories heal us: Sharing and connecting stories through Playback Theatre
Description
Playback Theater, originally developed by Jonathan Fox and Jo Salas, is a form of improvisational theater where people tell stories from their lives and watch them enacted on the spot by a team of actors. The idea of Playback Theater is simple, but its implications are profound. During this breakout session, participants will learn about Playback Theater and its value in creating a space to share stories of truth and justice while promoting the well-being of the participants and the community. Participants will have the chance to experience Playback theater performed by members of the Heartsparkle Players Playback Theater Ensemble and the Thunders to learn how this form of expressive and participatory art can be utilized to hold a space where stories and lived experiences can be shared and navigated in times of challenge and suffering as a community.
