Course objectives
This course introduces the method of playback theatre, which is one of the applied theatres used in teaching and helping professions. Its aim is to open up the individual stories and experiences of the audience and shift them into a social context through the improvisation of the actors; thus interactively sharing individual and social experience. The course includes improvisation techniques, working with stories and thinking about them, and facilitation of actors and audience. Playback theatre is here also introduced with theoretical and historical background.
