Course programme

Dramatherapy is a form of therapy that uses the dramatic elements as a medium via which a client, or a group of clients, can increase self-awareness or make changes in their own life(s). Basically, the opposite of talking therapy, in Dramatherapy the client fulfils a very active role of “doing”. The dramatic elements that are contained could be countless: role play, enhancement, storytelling and many more.

Sometimes talking therapies can reach a "stagnant" point with clients. For centuries arts have been used in order to access a deeper level in the human psyche. Within the safety of using metaphors clients can easily access a much deeper psychotherapeutic level than talking therapy.

This course is open to practitioners from all theoretical backgrounds.
