About Playback Theatre Moments of our lives can be touchstones, full of power and significance. Playback Theatre transforms personal stories told by audience members into theatre pieces on the spot using movement, ritual, music and spoken improvisation. Sometimes a story becomes myth, sometimes a realistic enactment: some stories are tragic; others are funny or illuminating. The Training Workshop participants will learn the subtleties of the Playback Theatre form, refine acting and improvisation skills, and share in the often profound experience of hearing each other's stories and bringing them to life. The Playback process develops intuition, insight, creativity, and effective communication. It also creates community and connection among people by honoring the dignity, drama, and universality in their stories. This training is for actors, teachers, therapists, or anyone interested in creating art from the specific and universal in our experience. Christine Kalb is a founding member of the Living Arts Playback Theatre Ensemble, and has collaborated and trained with Armand Volkas for nearly twenty years. She has also participated in numerous workshops conducted by Jonathan Fox, the creator of the Playback Theatre form, and other faculty of the Centre for Playback Theatre, headquartered in New Paltz, NY. An experienced improv and playback teacher, she performs regularly with the Living Arts Playback Theatre Ensemble.
