Playback Theatre is a form of improvisational theatre where audience members share personal stories, and actors immediately enact these stories on stage. This unique performance style emphasizes the connection between the performers and the audience, creating a shared experience that highlights the power of storytelling. Founded in the 1970s by Jonathan Fox and Jo Salas, Playback Theatre aims to foster empathy and understanding within communities. The actors use various theatrical techniques, such as movement and music, to bring the stories to life, allowing participants to see their experiences reflected in a creative and supportive environment.
