Core training in Tele-Playback: An introduction to PT online
This course was specifically designed to introduce live streaming PT. All elements of PT were carefully considered, practiced and adapted to an online version of PT that values the unique atmosphere, ritual, aesthetics and togetherness found in the core of Playback Theatre.
Playback Theatre is a form of improvisational theatre based on people’s real life stories, which are enacted on stage by a group of specially trained performers. Improvisation includes sounds, movement, dialogue, use of objects, music, song and lighting. The performance is constructed collectively by both the performers and the audience. Each performance is a unique theatre piece. PT combines physical theatre with techniques resulting from drama therapy, psychodrama and social theatre.
The Greek School of Playback Theatre was established by the Association of Dramatic Expression and Therapy “Palmos” and is accredited by the Center of Playback theatre (CPT). The training team of the Greek School of Playback theatre consists of highly experienced professionals working in the performing arts, education and mental health. Trainers are members of Playback Psi The. Co. established in Greece, in 2004 under the guidance of psychiatrist, dramatherapist and director Lambros Yotis. Playback Psi The. Co. is a member of IPTN (International Playback theatre Association).
