Playback Theatre is a form of applied drama. It consists of improvisation based on interaction where the group of actors, the director and the musician reproduce real-life moments and stories told by the audience. Stories are created on stage through short techniques or a longer format, the story.
The project will take two years. The group of professional actors will meet in 10-12 rehearsals during each year. At the end of each year, a series of public performances and a seminar open for public will be organised in spring, through which the group’s development and the progress of the process can also be seen by the public.
A study of the impact of Playback Theatre on acting will be conducted on the basis of the material collected during the project.
