Warm Up to Action
One in Three, Three in One
Psychodrama Training Long Weekend Workshop
16, 17, 18 June 2023
This training workshop will focus on three areas to embody experience:
- Interview of the protagonist,
- Interview for role,
- Scene setting.
These three areas assist the practitioner to bring individuals’ concerns to life through timely application of psychodramatic action techniques. The content of scenes set out dramatically will arise out of the experiential sessions over the three-day training workshop and the warm up to action.
The training will assist participants to become more able to apply learning done in the group to their daily life – including work, play and relationships – with a view to increasing their capacity to rise creatively to life’s challenges.
The systemic action process known as the psychodrama method is learnt in the workshop experience.
Being a participant you can expect to be actively involved, have fun, and work hard as you enact scenes from life and imagination with the guidance of the director. People meet in depth by assisting in one-another’s dramas and the group life. Action is involving and teaches new lifeskills.
There will be some opportunities for supervised practice of directing psychodrama for psychodrama trainees.
The psychodrama method assists participants to increase their spontaneity and creativity through active participation and reflection. This participation includes group work, enactment and theoretical mini lectures. The program will assist in developing leadership and will lead to increasing abilities in relating to others. The training assists in developing confidence in group presentations and in the development of interpersonal and group skills.
This program is designed for professional people who are involved in health, theatre, management, leadership, consultancies, coaching, mentoring, supervision, art, writing, teaching, human potential and creative therapies. The process will assist in the deepening of abilities to step into the shoes of others and this will contribute to the effectiveness of those who are therapists, counsellors, psychotherapists, health workers, managers, trainers and educators, actors, artists, writers and poet.
The course will consist of enactment, group participation and discussion. Participants are expected to be actively involved. The learning of new abilities may be emotionally challenging and participants are required to be able to sustain their life and be participating in areas such as studies, employment and social and creative activities.
New participants should arrange a face to face or phone interview to connect, to determine the suitability of this course and for clarifying the training contract.
A certificate of attendance will be given on request and may be used for points towards required professional development and psychodrama certification. The training hours are recognised by AANZPA and can lead to certification as a psychodramatist, sociodramatist, role trainer or sociometrist.
