“it can be used to break the ice, help people listen more deeply to each other and for demonstrating and simplifying difficult emotions within a framework. It is also excellent for team-building”
The WRONG purpose & the WRONG people
- The use of playback theatre must be judicious. Traditional experimental theatre does not sit well with some business types or right brained thinkers.
Tips for Newbies
- Book-end the presentation with introduction to the process, the theatre work and then a de-briefing. Be prepared to deal with any strong emotions that may be brought to the surface when acting upon sensitive materials
