Opens Space and Playback Theatre

[Peter O'Connell]

BJ,
Thanks for the confirmation that others are exploring ways to make this
connection.  Where I'm presently at is trying to make the link between the
areas of Alternative Dispute Resolution (especially Transformative
Mediation and Community Conferencing), action methods/sociometry in group
work, and the use of Playback.  Perhaps this will crystallise a little more
for me when I do my first Playback public performance on the 15th July
(gulp!!).
Regards
Peter O'C

Peter-- I appreciate your making and sharing this connection between OST
and
Playback Theater. Our Regional ODN group was privileged to have the AZ
Playback Theater Group do one of our monthly programs with one of our
colleagues last year. At the time I was struck by the power of it, and yet
didn't make the connection to open space. I see it now. And I would use
Playback Theater as a part of an event or process, surrounded by open,
interactive dialogue so that the audience is actively engaged. I know I
have a
lot more thinking and learning to do about how to join the spirit of
participative design (OST and others) with something as powerful as
Playback
Theater.

Thanks for getting the creative juices flowing --BJ
