Learn Playback Theatre with us.
Playback is an antidote to individualisation. Through our workshops we gently warm people up, help them to listen, to being present, to laugh and connect meaningfully with other like minded creative spirits. We know how hard it can be to say yes to something out of our comfort zone. We get scared of getting it wrong, making mistakes, being inadequate. Playback is for everyday people … who love listening to stories, move their bodies, express themselves. Playback Theatre is a gift for when we say yes we can fly. Learn to
- Listen to stories deeply
- Improvise and think your feet
- Be playful and lighthearted
- Take safe risks
- Work in a group
- Move differently
- Develop confidence
Join us as we develop skills which are essential in Playback Theatre and life!
For group workers, community workers, teachers, musicians, scientists, administrators, retirees, new and old Playback theatre performers …anyone who wishes to explore the benefits of improvisation using Playback Theatre.

Playing with Haiku June 2023
Playback theatre involves improvising people’s real life experiences.
Listen to a story
With open heart we play it back
Creating magic
Distilling the essence, or heart of a story, is a key listening skill in much of our work in community and in Playback Theatre. In this workshop Franki and Jen gently invite you to share stories and develop your ability to play and enact stories using a Playback form loosely based on Haiku poetry. If you want to respectfully play with stories and create short, interactive narrative pieces you’ll love this workshop. You don’t need to be an actor or Playback practitioner. All you need is a desire to listen, move, improvise, create and play with a respectful group of open hearted people.
Jen and Franki have forty five combined years experience in Playback and community theatre, group and story facilitation.
