Workshop of improvisation in Playback Theatre.

Getting familiarized with some structural components, roles and forms of the interactive 

improvisational Playback Theatre, sharing our own thoughts, memories, experiences, visions of arts education and of an education supported with collaborations between Teachers and Artists. We leave with a powerful social tool and with techniques that we can apply directly in the school context if we want to explore what needs our group has and work on the issues that concern them.
