Experience 1.
Playback Theatre- Recreate
In Playback Theatre someone tells a story from their life, while the instructor facilitates the telling and casting of the story into others who take in the story. Then the teller watches as the actor team recreates the story using emblems of costume from scarves. In the reenactment, the focus is to find the deeper story, not merely to repeat what the teller said, but to find perhaps what the teller showed but didn't say (subtext), or perhaps an archetypal level of truth, or perhaps a level of fun or delight. At the end the actors turn back to the teller who can validate to what extent the story was real for them, or moving. The process creates a shared sense of community as actors offer back each others life events with generosity and delight.

Story Sizzle Celebrate Yourself

Instead, the script is replaced with visual and emotional recall. Memory is replaced with reliving the scene; rehearsal is replaced by responding honestly to the relived episode.
