Happy World Theatre Day! Why on earth would an event marketing agency say HAPPY THEATRE DAY!? Because without theatre, we wouldn’t be who we are. Our company is built by actors, directors, stage managers, dancers and singers. Artists are resilient, adaptable and communicative. We bring that to everything we do. Whether we are directing and teaching at the top acting schools in the country, performing at the Stratford Shakespeare Festival, touring the country, or sharing everything we know about your product, you can bet we will do it with passion and drive. Not to mention— teamwork. Once you’ve pulled together a musical with a shoestring budget, four cast members playing 8 roles and not enough rehearsal time, you can make any event shine. Because we’re Theatre People. And that’s what Theatre People do.

Starting a series of some of my experiences from engaging in Playback Theatre at OPEN MINDS Productions . To begin with, what is Playback Theatre is a form of improvisational theatre where actors enact real-life stories shared by audience members. In a playback performance, an emcee invites individuals to share personal experiences, feelings, or thoughts, and the actors then spontaneously recreate those stories through movement, dialogue, and music. **Importance Today:** 1. **Empathy and Connection:** Playback Theatre fosters empathy by allowing individuals to see their stories performed on stage. It promotes a sense of connection and understanding within communities. 2. **Cathartic Expression:** In a world where people often feel unheard, playback provides a platform for individuals to express their experiences and emotions, leading to a sense of catharsis and validation. 3. **Cultural Dialogue:** Playback encourages cultural dialogue by bringing diverse perspectives to the forefront. It helps bridge gaps and promote understanding among different communities. 4. **Therapeutic Benefits:** The interactive and reflective nature of playback can have therapeutic benefits. It provides a safe space for individuals to explore and process their own experiences. 5. **Enhanced Communication Skills:** Participating in or witnessing playback theatre can improve communication skills. It encourages active listening, understanding, and effective storytelling. 6. **Community Building:** Playback creates a shared experience within a community, fostering a sense of belonging. It is particularly relevant in today's digital age, where genuine human connections are often challenged. 7. **Celebration of Diversity:** Playback celebrates the diversity of human experiences. It acknowledges and honors various perspectives, enriching the cultural fabric of communities. In summary, playback theatre serves as a powerful tool for fostering empathy, encouraging open communication, and building a sense of community, making it relevant and important in today's interconnected and diverse world. #playbacktheatre #lifeflavors #empathy #EmpathyInAction #acting #improvisation #theatre #theatrelife #script #scripting #dialogue #communication #communicationskills #letstalk #problemsolving #conflict #conflictresolution #aicte

How do you know if you are ready? Like READY ready? I call my favorite preparation test "The 2am Test." If I woke you up in the middle of the night and told you to do your monologue, could you do it? More ways to test if you are prepared: Say the lyrics to your favorite song as fast as you can. Can you say your lines that fast without any hiccups? Record all your cues lines, but leave only five seconds of silence for your lines. Can you squeeze in all your lines before the next cue line plays on the recording? (Caveat: monologues may take longer than five seconds. lol) Get into what I like to call F.L.O.E.W.  Write the First Letter of Every Word in your script. Can you go through the entire script by just looking at the first letter of every word? If you can answer "Yes" to the questions above, you should be in good shape. The ultimate test? Do you feel confident? #actors #acting #theatre #presentation

MPU 3442 TRADISIONAL THEATER THEATER MONOLOGUE AND BASIC ACTING SKILLS (26/5/2024) Individual theatre monologue assignments emphasize self-expression, creativity, and understanding of the script and character. By applying fundamental acting skills such as movement, vocalization, breathing, mental and emotional preparation, imagination, and spatial awareness, we can develop self-confidence and performance skills. Scoring assessments provide incentives for the best performances, while integrating theory with practice in comprehensive theatre education.
