In this training, Armand will impart his approach to working with intercultural conflict and historical trauma using techniques drawn from theatre, improvisation, drama therapy, psychodrama, sociodrama and Playback Theatre. Through experiential exercises integrated with didactic explanations of his method, Healing the Wounds of History, Armand will guide trainees through an embodied exploration of the following questions: How do cultures emotionally integrate a legacy of perpetration or victimization? How do we prevent the rage, guilt and shame of one generation from haunting a people for generations to come?
The training will culminate with a workshop in which trainees will work with groups in conflict or groups which carry a historical trauma within a therapeutic process that Armand will facilitate. Trainees will take on roles in the psychodramas of the group members as well as supporting their healing process. They will also play back the personal stories of group participants using the technique of Playback Theatre.
