Workshop Description
Acts of Witness gives you the opportunity to transform your life script. Through improvisation, drama therapy, psychodrama, Playback Theatre, mindfulness, sense memory, and playwriting techniques, you will develop the skills to explore formative experiences and messages, reclaim and express lost or repressed aspects of your “self”, and rewrite and integrate a new, life-affirming narrative or social vision.
This work will include supportive weekly group exploration and training, personal work with an individual therapist/director, and culminate in a therapeutic theatre performance the weekend of June 3 to 5, 2011.
Skills and techniques that you will experience and develop include:
· Sensory awareness and mindfulness approaches
· Sound and movement transformations
· Group and solo improvisation
· Sense memory
· Personal storytelling and narration
· Character, monologue, and scene development
· Sociodrama and Psychodrama
· Drama Therapy
· Playback Theatre
· Embodied inner critic work
The Acts of Witness process involves:
· Defining a strong therapeutic goal or intention
· A readiness for personal risk-taking and investment of time, creativity and psychic energy
· A commitment to developing your personal theatre piece outside of the group (with the guidance of a director.)
The process entails:
· Ten 3-hour group sessions (at $50/session) March 21 to June 6, 2011. No sessions May 9 or May 23.
· Ten to twelve 1 1/2-hour individual sessions with an assigned drama therapist/director (at $75/session)
· Cost of the theatre rental shared by the group.
· A one-hour technical rehearsal the week of the performance.
· Supportive attendance at and participation during the performance weekend scheduled for June 3rd (2 to 3 evenings of performance depending on the size and needs of the group).
Drama Therapist/ Directors include:
Armand Volkas, MFT, RDT/BCT; Jennifer Stuckert, MA, MFT Intern;
Roni Alperin, MA, MFT Intern; Andrea Thring, MA, MFT Intern
