Manifesto
Witness is powerful:
Bearing witness and being witnessed are pathways to transformation
We care for one another’s magic, complexity, & vulnerability
Our creativity can be trusted:
Improvisation and spontaneity are tools to build resilience and collective insight
We commit to boldness, taking risks, and imperfection
A more just world is possible:
We commit to anti-racism and collective liberation
We seek to celebrate the voices and lived experiences of all people
The content of our lives is meaningful. Our stories are worth telling.

Ensemble bio
The Central Vermont Playback Troupe came into being in November 2019
under the leadership of Lucy Schmid, who is the current artistic director of the troupe.
Our ensemble of 9 performers includes teachers, social workers, somatic movement educators, medical providers, computer programmers, therapists, advocates, and community organizers and more.
As a troupe, we believe playback has the capacity to support healing, to change the ways we relate to each other,
create new cultural possibilities, and to embody our values in the world.
We are delighted to be exploring playback together
and to be a part of the greater playback community.
