Creative Collaborations

Another Playback Theatre workshop is in the bag, and it’s been a thrilling ride. Eight intense hours with six others sharing a myriad of stories. By our conclusion at 5 PM, it was hot, and we were tired. The day had been an intense sequence of stories and playing, and we’d struggled to name the common themes or “red thread” as we in Playback call it. As we began to close, one participant suddenly interrupted, “you know what? I think the ‘red thread’ is about forgiveness.”

This weekend will be another step in my work exploring “archetypes” through Playback Theatre. Held at the Susquehanna Waldorf School in Marietta, PA, we will spend Saturday with the Warrior and the Altruist, two prominent characters that we see and play in our every day lives.

I’m excited to announce that our River Crossing Playback is now crossing into Friday night entertainment territory on June 4 for First Friday in York. Join us at 8 PM at the York Friends Meetinghouse.
