In this workshop we will learn Playback Theatre forms and play at the edge of our creative aliveness. We will play theatre games to connect and sharpen our senses and free up our spontaneity, developing as a group and bringing our stories to life for one another.
We will create a safe and vibrant space in which to explore together.


Amanda and Alison offer clear foundations in the practise of Playback Theatre. Training courses have an emphasis on developing skills for spontaneity and physical expression. Central to the training is building group connection and improvising personal stories using the Playback Theatre forms. This offers the opportunity to develop integrity in performance and to strengthen trust in yourself and in your relationships with other group members. You will learn about story and how to create meaningful, artistic representations from the impressions and experiences offered by the “teller”.  Courses are active and participatory. Lots of time is spent working and playing together.

No specific acting training is necessary although welcome.

Explore this dynamic form of communication and play at the edge of your creative aliveness. This work strongly supports the growth of creativity and personal confidence.

Topics to explore include:

  • Playback Theatre forms
  • Conducting
  • Deep stories
  • How to have a healthy company / managing conflict
  • Performance skills
We run:
  • One day courses
  • Weekends
  • Ten session courses
  • Five day courses

Amanda and Alison are trainers for SPTUK and the Centre for Playback Theatre.
