"Repotting your roots" - Sometimes a plant grows beyond its container and needs to find a new place to extend its roots. In this performance we will share stories of the times we became too big to continue growing where we were, and name how we manage to replant ourselves in more fertile soil to continue reaching for the sun.

"Less is more" - So many things we don’t really need- things, thoughts, relationships, habits, feelings. Covid 19 helped us to see where we are and what is more or less in our lives. When we free ourselves from unnecessary we gain unbelievable power to create the life we really want.

Zoom-in Playback - UK
Re - rooting/ Re-routing for such a time as this: Our group was rooted following a training which took place in the UK just before Covid-19. We connect through our love of Playback yet also as visitors to the UK from other homelands. Having met each other at a training weekend, one of the group had a dream of the UK being folded in half so we could all meet together despite being scattered across the country. That seed germinated into a reality during lockdown and we now meet for Playback regularly via Zoom.
How have you been re-rooting during the pandemic? What has germinated for you during this time? Is it what you had hoped for or hadn't expected? How has this time encouraged or forced you to re-route? Come share your stories of re-rooting and re-routing.

What have you discovered on this frustrating and exquisite journey? Come tell your story. All true stories are welcome. Don’t feel like telling a story? No problem—sit back, relax and watch other people’s stories as they magically transform from the teller to the “stage”. (or the Zoom boxes!)

"Rolling stone: wings of freedom or absence of roots?" - Do you belong somewhere to some place or are you independent? Can we really be independent from our own roots and are we free to choose the way we want to live? Does freedom come at the price of destruction the old ways? How does it feel to have no home anywhere?
