Playback Theatre Performance !

This is a unique improvisational theatre experience. It is your theatre - an experience which truly belongs to the audience.

A free performance in Camden's Greenwood Centre, where the arts and music contribute to mental health.
Our February show is open to all.

As usual, people will be able to share their moments and stories and the actors and musician will bring them to life spontaneously.
Dusan Potkonjak will guide the proceedings.
Thelma Sharma, Claudia Dias, Julia Munrow and Alexia Kambitis are in the line-up. David Woolfson is on music.
The theme is where you are now, and whatever emerges as the show unfolds

Playback is the theatre of the unexpected. It takes the audience on a journey through each others' hearts and minds. Surprising stories spring into magical life, words are made flesh and the everyday brings forth epics.

Playback is simple - audience members tell stories from their lives and the actors improvise and act out ( play back ) the story. Stories may be funny or tragic, "trivial" or life changing, themes may develop, or the show may contain a roller-coaster variety of stories.

For the storyteller the experience may be a bit of fun, or it may help him or her see events in their life in a different way or it may have a profound therapeutic effect.

For the audience a playback show is always entertaining and enlightening. It may bring the group together, it may help to illustrate issues, provoke discussion and lead to solutions to problems.

Playback is, in its essence a primeval activity. A group of people meet together and tell stories. As the show progresses they gradually learn about each other, they grow closer, they share their hopes and fears, reveal their joys and insecurities. Share their lives.
