What is Playback Theater?
It is a unique method created by Jonathan Fox and Jo Salas, blending improvisational theater and psychology. Actors perform on stage based on the spontaneous stories of the audience, creating a vibrant event where real stories take on new meanings, colors, and emotions.

In these two days, we will:
Get to know each other and form a team.
Develop improvisational skills and expressive acting.
Strengthen the connection with the body and develop physical expressiveness.
Play games and nurture creative sources within us.
Learn to tell and listen to stories, understanding their essence and transforming them into theatrical form.
Experience fun, joy in interaction, co-creation, drive, and a sense of valuable contact with each other.

Olga Sanachina is a co-founder, performer, and director of VOZDUKH Center - a creative laboratory (www.vozdukh.center).
