Upcoming Events
Experiential Psychodrama Workshop, Saturday & Sunday, 9.30-4.30pm
This year long training program covers the core knowledge, skills and personal development that underpin psychodrama practice . It equips participants to integrate psychodramatic processes into their professional practice, bringing greater vitality, depth and immediacy to their work. You will have the opportunity to experience psychodrama, broaden your production capabilities, develop greater flexibility in group work and deepen therapeutic or systems interventions. The purpose is to apply your learning in your work and life, to be more effective in your work and have more satisfying interactions.
Life presents each of us with many challenges. The capacity to respond in the moment with a new response to an old situation or an adequate response in a new situation requires spontaneity. There are many forms of spontaneity which group leaders and members of a group require to be effective.
This workshop will focus on developing participants’ spontaneity through play.
Dr J.L Moreno says that spontaneity is trainable and suggests that the Psychodrama Director be the most spontaneous person in the room.
We will focus on many factors that assist abilities to be active whilst running a group. We will also deal with difficulties that stop a person from warming up in the moment.

Current and Past Events
The best way to understand the power of psychodrama is to experience it and these evenings are designed to give participants an opportunity to experience psychodrama in a safe and gentle environment. Each session will be directed by an experienced psychodramatist with time available for questions about the method and its applications.
Often when we see a person bullying or otherwise abusing another, our first reaction is incredulity, shock and immobility.
In this workshop we will use the psychodramatic method to investigate the nature of bullying and our reactions to it , with a view to becoming effective at constructively intervening where possible. Later in the workshop we will investigate in action possibilities for cultural change in our institutions and general community.

The Dance of Lead and Follow - The Truth is in the Relationship
The psychodrama method is based on the concept of co-creation. The challenge is to live in the here and now within a relational paradigm. This is as true of directing psychodrama as it is in living your life. It requires role flexibility, recognising when it is time to lead and when it is time to follow.
“… Moreno’s vision was so comprehensive that, with him, one worked all the time, because life was constantly presenting itself to us. Everything was about relationships – ours to each other, extending to our near and far social atoms…”

Theme: Choice in our lives.
Life constantly presents us with choices. Effortless choices, challenging choices. Playful choices, inconsequential choices, existential choices. Regular or large? What to have for dinner? Who to invite? How can I choose between this and that? What will I say no to? Who will I say yes to? What story will I choose to live my life by? Who gets to decide? Come along to an evening of psychodrama, where we will explore, in action, the theme of choice in our lives.
