Dramatherapy Workshop for Adults & Creative Arts Workshop for Children

I will be facilitating a Dramatherapy Workshop for Adults and also Creative Arts Workshop for Children.

The details:

Workshop 1:
Introductory Dramatherapy Workshop (for Adults)

Aim: Self Exploration/Self Awareness

In this introductory session, participants will experience various methods used in the practice of dramatherapy such as drama games,movements,story making and object work to explore various aspects of their lives.

Using these tools in the context of dramatherapy allows the participants to explore their lives in a safe space and at a safe distance. Many individuals find it difficult to speak about difficult issues in their lives. Sometimes the individual may be so involved in their issues that they feel unable to step back and look at their issues with clarity.

Dramatherapy uses projective techniques. It acts like a mirror to the participant’s feelings, thoughts and unresolved issues. Both of which the participant may be conscious of and some which the participants may be unaware of. These methods allow space for the individual to be both the witness and the participant of his/her life.
It is important to explore unresolved emotions from the past and the present as ignoring them or repressing them may cause many ‘blocks’ or stagnation to the smooth progress of the individual’s life.

Once the client is able to have clarity of their issues, the next step in the cause of dramatherapy sessions is to facilitate participants to create their own solutions for certain issues, using dramatherapy tools and then guide the progress of the individual in carrying out their goals for therapy.
