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 from the audience, stories about everyday lives, stories which might not have been shared so far, stories which want to come out of the shadows and be told. Playback Theatre plays back the stories.  Every story is worth being heard and the Playback Theatre Group loves to listen to your story and visualize it in a creative way for everyone to enjoy and be enriched. Watch an international team of actors perform them in creative ways without any rehearsal at all! 

Join in this unique experience to have a chance to have your story acted out. Or simply come to watch and be blessed.
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.
