The Warmth of Stories, Winter Session 2013

21 students from 6 different countries gathered together for winter session with Tim Van Ness, Sarah Urech, Jo Salas, and Jonathan Fox for another amazing experience in Saugerties, NY, USA.

Outside, snow and very low temperatures, inside, the warmth of the stories. The many stories shared included challenges around moving forward in life; memories from childhood; relationships with family and many more. As different cultures and different levels of Playback experience united to learn, sing, play, and share, it was clear that new friendships were created and new bonds formed.

The residential programs always afford a unique opportunity to establish and connect and the comfort and beauty of the Falling Waters Retreat Center is the ideal setting for the students to spend time together in and outside of class. Every year new students attend and former students return to benefit from this unique location and to expand their Playback expertise. This year was no exception with six previous winter session students returning to continue what they began last year and in previous years.

A shout out to the Centre for Playback Theatre’s company partners that were represented:
