Jacksonville Playback Theatre will perform for your school.
We can perform at a variety of functions, whether big or small. Consider us for assemblies, club meetings, fund raisers, drama groups, and psychology classes.
A performance by JPT can help your school by:
- Helping your students to appreciate and understand each other's differences.
- Allowing your students to voice concerns and traumatic experiences during times of crisis.
- Rewarding your students with clever and moving entertainment.
- Resolving conflicts and building camaraderie.
- Showing psychology and drama students how the Playback form can assist in self-healing and the building of community.
Our performances may bring up emotions, memories, or relational problems that would be helpful to discuss. While Playback Theatre shares some elements with drama therapy, it is not therapy. However, at an additional fee, Jacksonvile Playback Theatre can meet with the audience immediately following the performance. Members will be encouraged to take part in a time of processing, led by our certified mental health counselors. This will be a time for audience members to express emotions and questions raised by watching and taking part in the performance. Members with significant issues will be encouraged to seek counseling.
In addition to performances, JPT also offers workshops where children and/or faculty can learn Playback forms and discover how to incorporate them in the school setting.
If you would like to discuss the scheduling of a Playback performance or workshop for your school, please e-mail us at info@jaxplayback.com.
