A: Playback Theatre is a unique form of improvisational theatre where audience members volunteer stories from their lives, and our ensemble performs them on stage. It's a powerful tool for gaining perspective on life's stories, processing emotions, and healing personal and collective experiences through the medium of theatre and music.

We recommend you watch this Video for a visual introduction to Playback Theatre.

A: The Kinky Playback Collective is a sex-positive theatre ensemble that explores and reflects upon real-life stories related to sexuality, gender identity, kinks, BDSM, relationships, and our community experiences. We strongly believe in the power of theatre as a medium for conveying important messages. Theatre allows us to extend beyond ourselves, impact others by altering our reactions to the world, and promote progressive and empathetic ways of thinking and behaving.

A: Our sessions take place on Mondays from 19:00 to 22:00 at the Fabriktheater Moabit, located at Lehrter Str. 35, 10557 Berlin. 

A: Yes, there is a membership fee of once every 3 months of 150 euros. This fee helps cover the costs of teaching and classes and rent. However, please note that we are a non-profit, self-funded social project, and we are committed to keeping costs to a minimum. In the future we would like that the ticket sale from our shows will fully fund our activity.

A: The Kinky Playback Collective distinguishes between recruits and members based on their level of involvement and commitment:

Recruits: Recruits are individuals exploring our ensemble. They can join for free or make a small donation to attend sessions without a long-term commitment.

Members: Members are fully committed participants. They pay a quarterly fee and actively engage in rehearsals, performances, and collaborative projects. They play an integral role in our mission of empowerment and reflection through theater.

A: In the Kinky Playback Collective, the term "collective" refers to our collaborative and inclusive approach to creating theater. We are a community-driven ensemble made up of 10 to 15 members who actively participate in decision-making, creative processes, and the realization of our artistic vision. It's a group where everyone has a voice and plays a vital role in shaping our performances and the direction of our project.

A: Our long-term objectives include establishing a fully operational performing ensemble, producing ticketed shows, and actively empowering the sex-positive community.

A: Musicians play a vital role in enhancing the theatrical experience of our performances. Their live music adds depth and emotion to our improvisational theater, creating a more immersive and engaging atmosphere for both performers and the audience. We believe that music has the power to elevate storytelling, making it an integral part of our creative ensemble. If you're a musician with a passion for collaborative storytelling, we invite you to join us!

A: The Kinky Playback Collective has been in motion for some time as we gathered our diverse and passionate group over the past few months. However, the official start of our professional playback classes and ensemble activities is set for the 25th of September 2023.
