Playback Theatre and Popular Struggle<\/strong><\/p>\n

September 14-18, 2014<\/p>\n

Playback Theatre is an interactive theatre approach used for community building, collective trauma response and cultural activism. In a Playback event, audience members share true stories, and watch as a team of actors and musicians transform these accounts into improvised enactments.<\/p>\n

Since 2011, The Freedom Theatre’s Freedom Bus has partnered with village cooperatives, popular struggle committees and grassroots organizations to hold Playback Theatre events throughout the occupied West Bank.<\/p>\n

In this 5-day introductory workshop, we will learn and practice the basic elements of Playback Theatre. In particular, we will develop our ability to identify the central themes, emotions and events that a \u2018Teller\u2019 presents in their story. We will also explore ways to turn true stories into improvised enactments that are rich in artistry, attunement and effective ensemble work. The workshop will specifically investigate the purpose and application of Playback Theatre within the broader popular struggle movement<\/p>\n
