Playback Theater is improvised theater enhanced by live music, based-on personal stories told by the audience members.
Leading & directing the course of the performance is a Conductor that helps guide the audience members and ensures the Actors — usually 3-5 persons –have the information they need to Honor the Teller/ the Audience member providing a story from their own life.
There is also a musician to add mood, color, drama. Also, there will be one to 3 students that will learn the roll of Conductor.
I will instruct a group of committed/ dedicated Youth in the various forms of PT that comprise a full performance.
The plan is that there will step forward one or more of the group that either is comfortable or trained in music; if not so, one or more untrained folks will learn how-to improvise simple musical tones/feelings/timings.
At weekly 3 hour trainings, this will likely take 2-3 months for all to B prepared enough to present to a group of both Students receiving Services of assistance and their helpers/ therapists/ behavioral teams.
