30th August – 2nd September 2012
Held on the beautiful and historic Dartington Hall Estate, South Devon, the festival will bring together people interested in Playback Theatre from across Europe and beyond. We will celebrate explore how the simple act of coming together, sharing and re-enacting stories through the ritual of Playback Theatre can inspire change, build community and promote social justice.
In this conference we use the theme of Elemental Journeys to remember that we are, every one of us, a force of nature. Our stories, shared, help create the landscape for communities. How can we trust the wild and unknown within the ritual of a Playback Theatre performance?
There will be workshops, discussions and performances, an opportunity to network, to meet with others who share a passion for Playback Theatre.
Submissions are invited from people who would be interested in leading a workshop, hosting a discussion or offering a performance by 31st January 2012.
Conference organised by Mirror Mirror Playback Theatre and Playback Community Theatre South West.
