What is Drama Therapy?

Drama Therapy is the intentional use of drama and/or theater processes to achieve therapeutic goals. It combines the aims and techniques of drama/theater with those of psychotherapy allowing for an active role in healing the self in a safe environment. Drama Therapy uses play, stories, role play, performance and other creative arts to create new behaviors, new meanings and new choices for the participants. Behavior change, skill-building, stress relief and personal growth can be achieved through Drama Therapy.

In this workshop Participants will:
- Deepen their self-knowledge.
- Identify desired change, and take steps (using creative processes) towards integrating change.
- Expand their internal role repertoire and practice new roles and desired behaviors in a supportive environment.
