What is Dramatherapy?
Dramatherapy comes under the umbrella of Creative Arts Therapies.
It utilizes various creative activities to get clients/participants to express and work through their problems/issues.
Creative Arts Therapies is a projective method, which uses artistic expressions and play as mediums which reflects the events, emotions or state of the mind of the client/participant.
The act of doing anything artistic and creative can be in itself therapeutic.
Therefore it makes sense to use these tools, giving it a clear structure and boundaries to use it as a form of therapy.
Dramatherapy allows the client/participants to express and work on difficult concerns at a safe distance via the use of the space and the idea of fiction and pretense, which is in theater and drama.
The activities in this workshop will include drama games, movements, role play, story making and acting
