Join us for an open Playback Theatre jam organised by SDEA CET - School of Playback Theatre!

This guided jam is open to anyone curious about Playback Theatre, whether you are experienced, new to the form, or simply interested in stories and improvisation.

Together, we’ll play with and explore some of the forms outside of the classical. There will be space to experiment, take risks, and learn from one another in a relaxed and supportive environment. Who knows, a new form might come of our experiments!
