Company information

Bellingen Playback Theatre Co

Playback Theatre is ...
a spontaneous, interactive, and entertaining theatre of storytelling.

Playback Works ...
in an unusual and highly innovative way where the audience provides the basic script. The audience members, in response to the performance theme, volunteer to tell experiences, dilemmas or events from their lives to the Playback Conductor.

The Conductor shapes the story and suggests a stylistic form, whereupon the innovative Actors and the Musician spontaneously recreate the story using few props and various dramatic techniques including improvised dialogue, stylistic metaphor, movement, mime, voice, and dance. The stories are brought to life, playfully, poignantly and with often rather unexpected results.

There are usually many people willing to share a story or two, while others are happy to just sit back and enjoy the show, often glimpsing their life through the stories of others.

A commissioned Bellingen Playback Theatre Co. performance includes a full consultation process to negotiate the uniquely specific requirements for each event. With have the experience of over 100 commissioned performances to draw from. This highly skilled and professional company has earned the respect of government, community, and business organisations alike.
