Community, Healing, Art made in the moment through laughter and crying, reflection and connection. Artistically, we weave together spoken word, dance, music, storytelling and theatre in an improvisational form that can be serious, deeply moving and often hilarious. The content comes from the audience, in the moment, through people's real life experiences, stories, and dreams. Someone tells a story
or moment from their life, chooses actors to play the different roles, then watches as their story is immediately given artistic shape and coherence. During performances the spontaneous, improvised enactment, the mixture of artistry, ensemble work and obvious risk that actors take, creates an open and trusting environment that is positively humanizing and uplifting. Yes...AND Playback Theatre has a commitment to exploring and illuminating issues of social justice through our work with communities.
