“I feel you my second family. When I am with you I don’t feel alone. I feel alone every day but not when I come here.” Refugee and asylum-seeker, Plymouth
“All the Young Carers should have the opportunity to attend such an event. I think one of the biggest outcomes is how the children and young people are able to learn empathy and offer peer support.” Young Carers Lead Torbay

A New Way of Listening and Understanding

Our approach promotes social inclusion, equality and diversity in all our projects where every voice is actively invited and welcomed. We are enabling a new way of listening and understanding.

Through careful invitation and contextual framing, trust is built so that people are drawn into shared narratives about their own experience – creating a vibrant, attentive atmosphere for listening and understanding of self and others.

Individual accounts of moments in their lives are adapted creatively into poignant, kind, humourous and emotionally insightful improvisations by the practitioners – creating moving, empathetic resonance for all present.

“Martin and I are heartened by the impact of Playback Theatre on the carers. It reframes issues and situations, enables change, develops and strengthens relationships, is cathartic and fun.”
Claudia Benzies Co-manager for Cool Recovery Devon
