Tratar de temas como a inclusão e a diversidade através do Teatro Playback. Numa altura em que a Constituição da Noruega se prepara para celebrar 200 anos, Synne and Jan Platander, do Skandinavisk Playbackteater Studio, ligam histórias reais de imigrantes, da atualidade, a acontecimentos históricos e ao tema da democracia.

Resumo:

Playback theatre can be a powerful tool for inclusion and community building. In the local community of Eidsvoll, the cradle of the Norwegian democracy, Synne and Jan Platander lead a two-year-long playback theatre project funded and supported by the local government. The project invited people from different cultural backgrounds, newly arrived immigrants as well as Norwegians born and raised in Norway, to learn playback theatre and perform together for the local community. The project culminated in a major performance that was performed at the 200-year anniversary of the Norwegian Constitution. The participants’ own personal stories of inclusion, belonging, empowerment, and human rights, were echoed by stories from historical events, reminding us that democracy is something we cannot take for granted. Synne will talk about the project, sharing pictures, stories, and learnings from the process. 

Playback theatre in organizational settings

Playback Theatre can even be a useful tool for reflection and learning in organizational settings, supporting an atmosphere of openness, trust, and shared vision.

In Stockholm, Sweden, Teater X has more than 20 years of experience working with Playback Theatre in organizations; at conferences, seminars, with workgroups, and in leadership development programs. Playback performers are trained to listen to personal stories and act them out on the spot. In an organizational context, people meet in their professional roles, and the process needs to be facilitated accordingly. Jan will share some perspectives and important learnings from more than 20 years of working with playback theatre in organizations. Some keywords are heightened context awareness, relevance, and system thinking.

Esta palestra surge no âmbito do projeto Dar Palco à Diferença – Incubadora de Companhias de Teatro Playback, da APPsyCI, que tem por objetivo apoiar e defender os Direitos Humanos através do Teatro Playback.

No Teatro Playback o protagonismo é dado às pessoas do público e às suas narrativas. A partir destas, são improvisadas cenas teatrais e musicais, que se entrelaçam para criar um momento de comunidade e partilha.
