Chris, what fun you are going to have! I have been involved in both forms of art/play/communication.
I think you have a perfect situation here. My thoughts would be to conduct an OS, and they will love learning a new approach they can use in future. They will also immediately fall in to the OS structure you describe to them. I predict they will be on their knees scribbling their agenda items before you finish introducing that stage. Indeed, that may help the fact that you have less overall time for your OS. If they want to, they will naturally fall into either spoken word communication, or physical, or whatever. They are well-versed in improvisation, which equals letting go time, listening wholly and carefully, putting their own agendas aside to be present for whatever arises, and the whole process we facilitators love to see. Remember, you want to take them out of their familiar way of thinking (playback theatre) and help them access innovative thinking. So I would not use playback techniques or elements for their sessions. As Artur says, my two cents. Lisa - - - - Chris Weaver wrote: > So here's what stumps me.
