Playback Improvisation

  • Studio 108 321 Wallace Street #206, Nanaimo, BC, Canada Nanaimo Canada (map)

If you are looking to spread your learning wings, join Myriam in this movement improvisation workshop, based on Playback Theatre and Action Theatre. Participants will have the opportunity to share about their own life experiences and then experience the essence of that sharing is reflected back to them through movement, dance and music.

Learn more about Playback Theatre.

Playing with Playback Theatre

Learn more about relationship dynamics through play and movement.

Myriam has been part of a professional Playback Theatre troupe for two years and is eager to share this practice with her community. She is also trained in Action Theatre, physical theatre, dance improvisation, mime and clowning, which all inform her improvisation practice and teachings. Her work in Nonviolent Communication drew her to delve into relationship dynamics through theatre and she approaches Playback Theatre as a form of empathy through movement, words and metaphors.

Listen to an interview from Myriam about the connection between her NVC work and Playback Theatre.

Participants do not require a background in dance or theatre to enjoy this taster workshop. Myriam will gently lead folks through a body and voice improvisation exploration, along with short forms of Playback Theatre.

Please Bring:

  • comfortable clothes for movement

  • water bottle

  • a journal

Participants will hopefully leave fuelled with a new creative energy, as well as an understanding of embodied empathy. If folks are moved by this experience, we look forward to more offerings in the spring.
