Add to CalendarPlayback Theatre Workshop: Home and Migration02/28/2024 09:00 AM02/28/2024 11:00 AMMM/DD/YYYYAmerica/VancouverPlayback Theatre is spontaneous - it is theatre created through a unique collaboration between performers and audience. Someone tells a story or moment in their life, then watches actors and musicians immediately recreate their story through an artistic and metaphoric lens.
Hour one of this will be a short introduction to Playback, where participants will be gently led into body and voice improvisations. In the second hour, participants will have a chance to try playback forms to reflect each others stories all around the theme of “Home and Migration”.

Facilitator Myriam Verzat has been part of a professional Playback Theatre troupe and is eager to share this practice with the community. She is also trained in Action Theatre, physical theatre, dance improvisation, mime and clown, which all inform her improvisation practice and teachings. Her practice in Nonviolent Communication drew her to delve into relationship dynamics through theatre and she approaches Playback Theatre as a form of empathy through movement, words and metaphors.
