Chris, what fun you are going to have!

I have been involved in both forms of
art/play/communication.

I think you have a perfect situation here.  My thoughts
would be to conduct an OS, and they will love learning a new
approach they can use in future.  They will also immediately
fall in to the OS structure you describe to them.  I predict
they will be on their knees scribbling their agenda items
before you finish introducing that stage.

Indeed, that may help the fact that you have less overall
time for your OS.

If they want to, they will naturally fall into either spoken
word communication, or physical, or whatever.  They are
well-versed in improvisation, which equals letting go time,
listening wholly and carefully, putting their own agendas
aside to be present for whatever arises, and the whole
process we facilitators love to see.

Remember, you want to take them out of their familiar way of
thinking (playback theatre) and help them access innovative
thinking.  So I would not use playback techniques or
elements for their sessions.

As Artur says, my two cents.

Lisa
