Queer Playback's workshop  Over the rainbow - telling queer stories workshop at the International Playback Theatre gathering was an amazing and moving experience which attracted a wonderfully creative crowd of LGBT folk from all over the world. We hope it will 

lead to more queer playback events through Europe and worldwide.

Here we all are chilling out at the end.

Over the rainbow: telling queer stories workshop

Arnet and Jane are running a fab workshop at the IPTN - an international playback gathering in Frankfurt, Germany.  The workshop is for anyone who identifies as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender (LGBT) or  who might be questioning their sexuality. Using games and playback we will have the opportunity to enjoy sharing and listening to our often hidden stories about our sexuality and sexual orientation. What stories lie on the 'other side' of the rainbow? How safe do we feel when we tell them?  As LGBT playbackers what insights and experiences do we bring? How are we, as LGBT people, represented in playback theatre and given space within the arc of the playback performance?
