▲Vocabulary Learning
1.Playback theater–This is a uniqueform of improvisational performance createdby an American couple several decades ago. While it has connections to dramatherapy, it is fundamentally a performance, not a therapy session. The structureinvolves a conductor who invites audience members toshare true stories fromtheir lives. A team of performers, including actors and musicians, then instantlyimprovises a piece based on the shared story or emotion, presenting it back to thestoryteller and the audience as a gift.
2. Empathy–This word represents a core outcome and feeling generated byPlayback Theater. Katie describes the experience as "very empathetic" because itallows audience members to deeply connect with one another's stories. Bylistening to someone's personal experience and seeing it performed, people oftenrealize they are not alone in their feelings or situations. This shared understandinghelps build strong connections between strangers, fostering peace and reducingfear, which Katie believes is one of the main purposes of theater.
3. Performer–A performer in the context of Playback Theater is an actor ormusician who specializes in improvisation. Their role is to listen intently as anaudience member shares a personal story and then, on the spot, create and performa piece that reflects the story's emotions and narrative. This act is seen as giving a"gift" back to the storyteller.

▲Key Phrases
•"It's connected to drama therapy a little bit, but it's definitely performance."
•"The performers will then improvise a performance ofthat emotion or thestory."
•"They gave us a gift of their story, but we are also giving the gift of hearingtheir story."
•"I could relate very closely to both of their stories."
•"I study theater because I think theater is one of the best ways to buildconnection between people."
•"Building that empathy helps us... to create peace and understanding anddecrease fear."
▲Cultural Comparison (文化小筆記)
Katie在節目中分享，一般來說，傳統劇場的故事內容來自編劇的劇本或導演的理念，而Playback（一人一故事劇場）的內容完全來自現場觀眾分享的真實故事，因此感覺更加真實。在傳統劇場中，觀眾多為被動的觀察者。在Playbac劇場，觀眾是內容的提供者、是一部份，扮演著主動參與的角色。傳統戲劇是經過排練、可重複演出的，在Playback劇場則是完全即興的，每一次的演出都是獨一無二、只存在於當下的「魔幻時刻」。Katie和我們分享，她學習劇場的目標並非為了成名，而是為了建立人與人之間的連結與同理心，這也是Playback劇場的核心價值。
▲Suggested Exercise請試著用英文寫出以下句子：
1.Explain what Playback Theater is and how it isdifferent from traditional scriptedtheater.

2.What does Katie mean when she says Playback is like a "gift exchange"?

3.According to Katie, what is the main purpose of theater, and how does PlaybackTheater achieve this goal
