Playback Theatre update for 2009

Well its been awhile, but despite a pause in blogging our company has been busy with shows and company life.

We have performed for a variety of organisations in 2009 - The Catholic Education Office, The Cancer Institute, Docs, DADHC, Tafe NSW to name just a few. In addition we also devised a scripted piece of theatre for Docs in relation to child protection training and devlopment.

This was very interesting and quite challenging as we, a small group fo three, had to create a theatrical and emotionally dramatic journey using metaphor that would speak directly to their experience and that was to be performed in a training room!
Well it worked, the 20 minute piece certainly managed to engage, entertain and move the group, the theatre enabled an alternate perspective to the issues that was further explored through dialogue afterward.

Theatre is such a useful and dynamic adjunct to training and development!

So that's not all we have been up to we are very close to finalising a new website and do have a look at our YouTube promo dvd we finished ;

One last exciting development is we have two new actors Rani and Thanasiss both of whom have a range of theatre skills and life experience that will be of enormous benefit to our company and to the Playback form.

So until 2010 all the best for Xmas and New Year
