You know
that call to do something, which you couldn't imagine?
Also doing something that hopefully support the
development of the society? As a Playback Theatre person
you may know what I mean. After 20 years of performing I
decided to make a movie about this unique kind of
theatre, of social communication, that is bringing people
together all over the world. And it was not an easy
decision to start that project. I know about the sacred
and intimate space of a performance and how harshly the pictures of
stagework could look like. But I trusted in my
sensitivity and experience as a practitioner.
So I started with a little budget that needs to be filled
up many times, so that I could continue. Three years of
work are behind me and now is the time to announce the
project. It contains pictures of performances,
workshops, gatherings, interviews taking place in
different countries and languages with practitioners and
the founders. The goal of this project is spreading
Playback Theatre into the world, making it much more
public and supporting the global movement. I will share
my next steps with you on facebook and will show you some
first trailers. There also will be a homepage and a
crowdfunding campaign.
Thanks to all of you who gave me support and strength to
carry on.
Lots of love to you all in the world.
