​

" It was an amazing experience to attend the session.I liked the spontaneous version of the acts you guys performed.

There was just a 10 mins introduction with the topic and then you guys swiftly synced with each other and delivered the message without any on stage issues..."

" After almost about a week... I still can recall the other girl and you played a role of a sister of one American guy and your facial expressions you made while talking to your bro (during the play) regarding university admissions. "

" I thought the theme 'stuck' was great.It leaves a lot of scope to pick from...like emotionally stuck...thats what i thought of immediately or literally being  stuck in a country or elevator. "

“ Last night was our first time watching this kind of performance.It really touched me and opened my eyes,thank you guys for being there! "

" Overall it was very nice... all of you synced very well; the visuals elements were nicely used ... all actors maintained a perfect balance between verbal and non-verbal movements. "

Alireza / 伊朗

“ A web designer, teacher and compatriot of Persian cats. Being passionate about artfully challenging life, I joined improv last year. Since then positivity, creativity and daydreaming became a major part of my life. I love to travel, make random videos and travel again. ”

Mia / 中国

“ I am socially awkard and when it comes to self-expression I feel even more reserved. Yet I have always been addicted to something not down-to-earth like Contact Improvisation and Playback Theatre Improv. I think stuffs like these could make me more human.”

You must be wondering what Playback Theatre is and how it's so appealing. Let me share with you. 

Playback Theatre | 一人一故事

▽

Playback Theatre is created through a unique collaboration between performers and audience. Someone tells a story or moment from their life, chooses actors to play the different roles, and then watches as their story is immediately recreated and given artistic shape and coherence.

Building community through personal stories - Playback Theatre creates a ritual space where any story - however ordinary, extraordinary, hidden or difficult - might be told, and immediately made into theatre. And where each person's uniqueness is honoured and affirmed while at the same time building and strengthening our connections to each other as a community of people.

Origins - The original Playback Theatre Company came together in 1975, with Jonathan Fox as its director. This was in the mid-Hudson valley of upstate New York and part of the experimental theatre explorations of the 1970s - looking for ways of reaching out to its audience, bringing theatre closer to everyday reality, and breaking away from the tradition of scripted theatre. Since then, Playback Theatre has spread across the world with companies and practitioners in many, many countries. It thrives in a variety of settings, existing as community theatre gatherings as well as a professional service to both the business and social sector.

真实的人生故事

远比剧本精彩

1975年，美国人Jonathan Fox 及Jo Salas等创立了一人一故事剧场（Playback Theatre）。

在这个剧场里面，演员运用形体动作、音乐、或戏剧的形式演绎观众所分享的故事，把抽象的情感和回忆具体化，以艺术的形式作为礼物送给故事分享者。也让观众们在这个过程中共同见证和体验，从而建立一个平等开放的对话空间。

在一场演出里，观众会欣赏到不同人士的故事被演绎，故事与故事之间往往存在着一种仿似互相对话的微妙关系。观众与表演者之间的互动尤为重要，普通人也可以成为“演员”，演绎自己的身边事。

一人一故事剧场是一个温暖而奇妙的舞台，能够在短短的2小时里面，为本来互不相识的普通人创造一个特别的缘分：相遇、相识、共同学习、分享彼此的人生故事，共创一段共同的生命故事。

我们想将一人一故事剧场，带到这个有趣的空间，造一场 “ 故事+戏剧 ” 的夏夜幻旅。
