Event description

Remember times when you've seen the world differently to others - when your version of what happened differed from others.
Come and share your experience and see it 'played back' in sound, movement and text by a team of performers.
Alternatively, sit back to listen and watch the stories of others.

Please come by 6.45pm to enjoy the preshow music. Then enjoy shared stories and playback theatre starts at 7.00pm going for approximately one and a half hours, followed by a light supper.

Note that attendance at the playback workshop earlier in the day gives you free entry to this performance.

Playback Theatre is a unique improvisional theatre with no script. The material for the performance comes from the audience. Assisted by the conductor, who holds a performance, people in the audience share moments and stories from their lives, which are then immediately re-enacted or “played back” spontaneously by a troupe of usually four actors and a muscian.

Actors and musician take on roles in a dramatic form and, using dance, movement, mine, music, dialogue, sound and imagination, the story or moment is played back in a creative and magical re-enactment. No Playback performance is like any other and no-one quite knows what to expect when they walk through the doors. That is the spontaneous nature of Playback, for actors and audience alike.

Communities and organisations use Playback to build their community, enable sometimes untold stories to be brought forward, acknowledge joyful and painful times and to value the contributions of people in their community. In essence Playback provides a unique opportunity to listen, learn and build on each others’ personal and community story.

Brisbane Playback Theatre Inc began in 1989 when Francis Batten initiated the Company. Since then many people have been part of the troupe, honouring people’s stories. Our members come from many disparate occupations and professions and are involved because of their love of this unusual, challenging, inspiring, inclusive form of theatre. Playback companies exist around the world and throughout Australia.
