Wellness Workshop: Asia Pacific Playback Theatre Conference 2015

What a delight to travel to Hong Kong, like dreams coming true. To work in your field of interest sharing your passion with other people who are equally passionate about Playback Theatre as you are.

I had the great pleasure of meeting a colleague of many years a few days before the conference to get an experience of Hong Kong through her eyes and meet her group. Pure joy to experience the art form through others’ lived experiences.

I was very lucky to be able to present and share a workshop on wellness during the conference.

Theme: Mental Health, Wellbeing, mindfulness, mind/body connection.

Simplifying this down into a few subject areas that we could apply our playback medium to.

  • Connecting Time

  • Physical Time

  • Focus Time

  • Play Time. 

  • Down Time

  • Sleep Time

  • Time In

I was so glad we had space to play and rest outside.

This was such a full four days. I represented New Zealand but I was not alone, I met up with teamies Gerry and Joh from Sydney. If you ever get the chance to travel to experience your life work in other countries do. It makes your work fuller and gives you a fine appreciation for your own unique voice.
