Playback Theatre and the Corporate World

Our first exposure to public performances of Playback was in a corporate office in Delhi. Since our group was just in its nascent stages, we started working with the audience on issues around family and memories of home, in order to find emotional connections between employees beyond the workspace.

Since then, we’ve gone on to explore deeper, more significant issues in the workspaces. Our first bite at this was to use Playback to address ‘Sexual Harassment at Workspace’ as part of an awareness program at a Corporate Office. The response was invigorating. Through this broad topic, we went moved into realizing genuine concerns around office hierarchy and finding ‘safe spaces’ for working employees. Most members in senior positions told us that this was an eye-opener for them, looking at the newer workforce through a more personal lens.

More recently in June this year, we tied up with the ‘Ek-Prana’ Foundation to work on ‘Stress Management and Well Being’. Our session was an inauguration into a day where ‘Ek-Prana’ Foundation spoke about maintaining one’s physical and mental health in today’s tough work environment. The Playback session opened up participants into talking about the conflicts between office and personal responsibilities through the kind of pressures that exist today.

If you are a corporate, wanting to work on aspects of work like ‘teambuilding’, ‘work-life balance’, ‘Sexual Harassment at Workspace’ and more, do get in touch with us at office@yuvaektafoundation.org
