Bring your stories to life through improvisational theatre. Playback Theatre allows us to explore spontaneity and play, as we animate our memories with creativity and compassion. This course—featuring experiential methods and acting techniques—is for anyone wanting to enhance their skills of expression and deepen their experience of self. The course will end with the opportunity for participants to perform with Playback actors in a final performance, which will be open to guests of participants. Students are encouraged to bring journals.
