ASHHO and Window Seat Media are co-producing an interactive applied theatre workshop series on the 3rd Sundays of the month January - May 2023 aimed at engaging young people (14-24) in the community. Come rehearse and co-perform with Brave Practice theatre collective.

EVENT DESCRIPTION: The "ACTING + LISTENING" workshop series is for young people in the community interested in theatre and storytelling as a way to express themselves and learn about others. Participants will become familiar with techniques in Playback Theatre, an original form of interactive and improvisational theatre where people share true moments from their lives and others play them back on the spot using music, conversation, images, and movement. By acting and listening, participants practice empathy, collaborate with others, and explore their own gifts and potential. We'll use theatre-based techniques as tools in self-discovery and exploring issues of concern to the group.
