This course emphasizes practice, practice, practice and gives you ten days to do it. For students involved in playback theatre on an ongoing basis and ready to commit to learning advanced skills, this course is the third level of study after Core Training and PT Experience. Students will learn:

• how to fulfill self-chosen roles and use effective language;

• how to find the heart of the story as conductor;

• how to warm up an audience or group;

• how to deal with conflict and strong emotions; and

• how difference (cultural, racial, economic) affects willingness to tell.

In addition, you will obtain vital information on starting a company and the scope of playback theatre in the world. Working and discovering together, you’ll build lasting supportive bonds with fellow-practitioners from many regions.

Prerequisite: Core Training, two Selected Topics, and practical experience with Playback Theatre.

Note: Practice participants will be asked to write a short reflective journal on an aspect of their playback work prior to coming in July.
