Role training: Role development through Spontaneity and Practice
Role training is an effort to help us perform adequately in future situations. It is a method of learning that aims to bring about a rise in the spontaneity level of an individual and combine this with practice of a new expression.
Making an apparently minor change in an area of our functioning which we recognize as a role or part role, can result in a ripple effect in a larger sphere or system. Role training focuses on the development of one aspect of a role, but has in its larger view the transformation of the groups and culture in which we live.
In this workshop we will review in detail the steps in the role training method and practice the conduct of a session as well as participate as a protagonist. The learning will be experiential and participants can expect to be actively involved in all aspects of this group method.
These weekends are designed for those who have an interest in this method and want to learn more and for those considering entering the core training program.
You can expect to be introduced to the four specialties of psychodrama; role training, sociodrama, sociometry and psychodrama as group psychotherapy. It is likely that you will participate in an enactment to recreate a new living moment and perhaps a new solution to life’s vicissitudes.
This program is a five day non-residential psychodrama training workshop 16-20 October 2024 with Elizabeth Synnot and Sara Crane. The purpose of this five-day workshop is provide an intensive experiential training opportunity in psychodrama, sociodrama, sociometry, role training and general group work.
