Canberra Campus
Psychodrama Training and Development
Extended Weekend Workshop 28 - 30 March 2025
THE SCOPE AND FOUNDATIONS OF PSYCHODRAMA
In this ambitious experiment, participants are invited to join a cruise through the philosophy,
theories and techniqes of this holistic and pragmatic approach to enhancing human development
- from deep inner functioning and individual development, via family and embedding groups,
through cultural interactions to the evolution of the cosmos.
This training will assist participants in developing leadership abilities in all situations and to
integrate learning done in the group to their daily life – work, play and relationships – with a view
to increasing their capacity to rise creatively to life’s challenges.
Learning to apply the systemic action process known as the psychodrama method is grounded in
workshop events and participants’ interests.
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 life-skills.
This program is designed for professional people at all levels who are involved in health, theatre,
management, leadership, consultancies, education on, coaching, mentoring, supervision, art, writing .ng,
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 poets.
The course will consist of enactment, group participation on 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 engaged in areas such as
studies, employment and social and creative activities.
A certificate of attendance will be given on request and may be used for points towards required
professional development. The training hours are recognised by AANZPA and can lead to certification
as a psychodramatist, sociodramatist, role trainer or sociometrist.
