Last weekend, I had the pleasure of facilitating an Introductory to Dramatherapy workshop at The Mind Faculty, which the most recent place, a state of the art, private Mental Heath Care facility, where I have begun practicing as a Consultant Dramatherapist.
The response was very encouraging, in regards to both, the number of participant who turned up (with only 5 days of announcing/advertising about the workshop) and the positive response and feedback during and after the workshop.
The participants were very willing and open to new experience of Dramatherapy. Both me and the participants had a lot of fun in the process :)
It is always a pleasure to have participants who are enthusiastic and open to the experience and process of a workshop or training. I am always humbled by that exhilarating experience.

These are some of the (summarized) comments from the participants:
"I enjoyed the activities, they were fun!"
"It was interesting to see what came up in the story making activity"
" I want some of what you exude!"
This is part of an email response from one of the participants:
"I would just like to say that I truly enjoyed the class(workshop) this morning and I am really grateful for the opportunity to join. It inspired me to explore the possibility of doing drama therapy in the future. It was a very educational, informational and highly enjoyable class. Ms. Vanitha Chandrasegaram was spectacular and I really enjoyed her teaching. If there are anymore classes(workshops) with her or other classes in The Mind Faculty, I would love to be informed about it and participate."
After the workshop, there has been interest and inquiries on Dramatherapy. The current group sessions which are still open to new comers is The Hero's Journey, which is aimed at those who are in the process of life transitions. See the flyer below:
Also in the month of September: The Magic of Scars (Dramatherapy & Art Therapy) Group sessions for Teens who have experienced Trauma.
I am also open to start a Dramatherapy Group Sessions at The Mind Faculty, for clients facing various life or mental health challenges.
