One-Day Drama Therapy Workshop
What are the emotional steps involved in transforming hurt and hatred into compassion and forgiveness? How do people and cultures in conflict heal from a legacy of perpetration and victimization? This workshop will explore ways we can master complex feelings in the process of personal, social, and political apology.
In this workshop elements of personal and collective apology will be explored: the acknowledgement of injury, acceptance of responsibility, regret or shame and vulnerability. Participants will also have the opportunity to take steps towards transforming their personal and historical legacies and traumas into constructive action through gestures of apology and emotional repair work.
Workshop explorations will include the use of small group exercises, Playback Theatre, Sociodrama, Psychodrama, role training and drama therapy. As apology can be viewed as a “performance” of truth and authenticity, drama therapy and other creative processes will also be used to give the phases of collective apology an aesthetic form.
