We just wanted to say the biggest thanks to you all for the excellent workshop today. You were so kind, generous, creative and gracious in working around our needs. The feedback from students and staff was that it was fantastic. We will be booking again!

Would your drama students benefit from a session with professional Playback theatre performers to support their improvisation and devising skills, as well as feed into your Theatre of the Oppressed, Forum Theatre, oral storytelling, improvised theatre and devised theatre work?

Let our highly skilled facilitators (who are all professional Playback theatre performers!) introduce your students to Playback theatre - exploring how to listen deeply to each others' stories, analyse stories for story components, and perform as an ensemble - turning stories into theatre on the spot!

This introduction teaches three of Melbourne Playback's signature short forms, and develops skills in listening, acting and reacting, ensemble work, improvisation, teamwork, and stagecraft.

We pride ourselves on training real-life really applicable skills, while having heaps of fun, empowering young people, creating a supportive environment for trying new things and supporting students to build their potential.
