Where Are We Going? A playback theatre event

A Playback Theatre performance. An interactive event. 
An improvisational form. A community theatre engagement.
A dialogue about issues that concern us.

Where are we going? What is our destination? What kind of society do we want to be a part of?What will our country be like in the future? What is the world coming to? What can we do now, to build the world we want to live in?

In Playback Theatre, the audience is invited to share moments and stories triggered by the theme. Performers will then spontaneously enact them in short dramatic vignettes, using elements of cloth, music, movement, and spoken word.

Come and join us. Share a story. Watch another’s story. Build community with us.
Friends from the Deaf Community are welcome to join us! Please leave us a message to tell us or email us at tapestry.ticketing@gmail.com. Sign Language interpretation will be available ONLY for the show on Sept 17th. =)

EARLY BIRD TICKETS UNTIL 17TH AUG ONLY! =)
TICKETS AT WHEREAREWEGOING.PEATIX.COM.

Photos from our July Open Rehearsal (July 29, 2016)

Thank you for coming to our Open Rehearsal last Saturday! We began our session with getting to know each other (through our footwear!) and followed that by by exploring the traditional pairs form. Then we came together to share and playback stories for each other. Thank you for your stories. And thank you for sharing this "theatre of neighbours" that we love so much. See you next month!
