In this group eight participants (men and women) are invited to change self-defeating patterns and practice new roles and desired behaviors in a supportive environment. Clients define their own therapeutic goals while using creative processes to achieve them. Playback theater techniques, psychodrama, sociodrama, dream work, ritual and improvisation skills are nurtured and clients expand their internal role repertoire in a “rehearsal for life” context.
Playback Theatre transforms personal stories into improvised theater pieces using movement, ritual, music and spoken improvisation. It creates community and connection among people by honoring the dignity, drama and universality in their stories. Playback Theatre offers opportunity for insight, validation and personal growth as our stories are enacted and witnessed in the company of supportive others. Playback Theatre also invites healing through the cultivation of spontaneity, creativity, playfulness, empathy and cooperation.
Roni Alperin, MFT Trainee is a drama therapist and Playback Theatre actor and teacher. He has worked extensively with the Playback Theatre form in Israel and the United States for the past 10 years.
