Playback theatre is improvisation that honors audience members’ true stories. Online solo playback with me is a heart-warming, insightful, creative experience from which participants leave feeling uplifted, inspired, thoughtful, and grounded in our common humanity. But don’t take my word for it… here are some recent testimonials from attendees:
“You (Erin) have a unique ability to make others feel safe with sharing intimate stories and then spontaneously extract the essence of their story so that the person telling the story feels understood and others feel a rapport with the story teller.”
///
“I was opened to personal healing and insight because of your competency and the intuition imbued through the stories of “emergences.” The vibrancy and softness, surprises at the screen, and truth telling was entertaining so as to be therapeutic for me. Your openness and clear leadership of the process was vital in this. It makes me feel cared for as an audience participant. What a priviledge to share my own responses with the participants, to be empathetic.I loved your use of symbols (more than just props!) .Thank you. You are generous and expert in your acting, and inspired in your story telling. A healer.”

“Uplifting, funny, touching...wonderful reflection on how “closeness” crosses generations, species, time. Closeness in community on zoom for a time...loved it.”
///
“It was an amazing experience to feel so connected to our collective humanity.”
Our theme for this September’s New Moon performance is “Harvest” given the seasonal relevance of this activity. Here are some questions to reflect on:
What images, places, and feelings does the word “harvest” evoke for you?
What are the fruits of this year for you?
What are you harvesting at this stage in your life?
What does the act of collecting and gathering gift you with? Are there downsides?
How do you know when to harvest? Have you ever been too early or too late?
What did you harvest from the pandemic?
What life experiences have born the most fruit for you?
