Mysuru: I Can The Learning Centre School’s Theatre Club “Chakalagulli” hosted a unique Playback Theatre Workshop for its parents for over three weeks recently. Artist Aeryk from New York has been performing and teaching Playback Theatre in the US for over 20 years in all levels of education, and in the community and has been lending his time and talent during his visits to Mysuru mostly with local families and the teachers of the school. The workshop culminated on Aug. 2 at the school’s Intimate Theatre Auditorium with the Playbackwallahs’ show.
While compassion and listening are the primary skills, the format includes sharing a live story or episode from the audience from their own life and the performers / actors immediately create a piece of Art on the spot with sound, movement, dialogue, and whatever else they bring.
