Belonging and Bravery: All-Ages YMCA Performance & Workshop

A time for community reflection through storytelling and theatre. What does it look like to live out our shared values of caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility? This workshop is part of our improv theatre series, Stories of Bravery.

Brave Practice with perform at the South Sound YMCA

We gathered together to practice courage by sharing our stories of bravery. What does bravery mean to you? When have you practiced bravery in your everyday life, in big and small ways? How can you cultivate the vulnerability necessary to do hard things like lead, learn, make mistakes, and maintain integrity and community accountability?  What does it look like to live out our shared values of caring, honesty, respect, and responsibility?

‍We are so grateful for the opportunity to work with the South Sound YMCA. This workshop is supported by an Arts in Education grant from ArtsWA, with the goal of enriching local arts offerings and accessible community programming.

Brave Practice Playback Theatre Company is a community resource for storytelling and deep listening. Founded in 2021 as a community engagement program through Window Seat, we are a collective of theatre artists who use Playback Theatre and other theatre-based techniques to foster connection, inclusion, and belonging locally. We serve a beautiful, diverse, intergenerational, and multicultural community within and connected to the South Sound region. With us, you'll practice empathy, express yourself, collaborate with others, and explore your own gifts and potential. Become familiar with techniques in Playback Theatre, a kind of improv theatre where people share true moments from their lives and others play them back on the spot.

Thank You

This program is supported, in part, by a grant from the Washington State Arts Commission (aka “ArtsWA”) and the National Endowment for the Arts.
