Online Playback Theatre

with Birte Papenhausen

Come and watch some live improvised performances of true stories! In this experience, you will be able to share a story, listen to others' stories, and watch an international team of actors perform them in creative ways without any rehearsal at all!

Bring your story and testimony of times of restoration in your life. Join in this unique experience to have a  chance to have your story acted out. Or simply come to watch and be blessed.

Informal share and chat (30 mins +) follow on from Playback Theatre.

The online playback theatre will be followed by an informal time for you to carry on sharing your stories, chat together, network or ask questions. You can either stay in the main room or request a breakout room.
Birte Papenhausen is a drama-theologian, missionary with WEC, and member of ArtsRelease. She inspires faith through theatre so that the Bible is better understood, God is loved more deeply and faith is lived out in everyday life. Her desire is to pass on her knowledge and passion for God and theatre by training others. Besides playback, she teaches orality courses and is on the staff at Cornerstone Bible School in the Netherlands. See her website for more details: https://www.theater-anstoss-zum-glauben.de
