Upcoming Events
The best way to understand the power of psychodrama is to experience it.
Come and join in or sit and watch as the drama unfolds. Experience the power of action methods and gain new perspectives on the way we relate in today’s world.
The art of psychodrama comes to fruition in the work of the director. The director functions to bring about the close-to-real-life portrayal of the protagonist’s subjective world, so that it becomes a springboard for their spontaneity, insight and creative intervention. In this regard, the director can be viewed as having three inter-related functions: the producer, the social investigator and the therapeutic guide.
In this workshop, we will focus on the function of the therapeutic guide, including identifying therapeutic interventions, managing auxiliaries, selecting what to respond to and why, and identifying the underlying principles involved, all the while remaining responsive to whatever is occurring on the psychodrama stage.

Psychodrama initially emerged as a form of theatre that allowed Moreno to keep experimenting with the therapeutic capacity of spontaneity. The crucial step Moreno made in creating the therapeutic theatre was the use of a stage as an imaginary place where individuals could externalise their inner subjective world. Here, a new 'as-if' reality could be created where the normally separate worlds of an individual's external reality and their inner truth could come together and be explored from the inside.

Current and Past Events
The three stages of the double, the mirror and role reversal, from birth to approximately 5 years, describe Moreno’s foundational sequence for human development. The corresponding techniques of doubling, mirroring and role reversal emerged from Moreno’s theatrical experiments with role playing and spontaneity in the 1920s. At that time, he knew that his psychodramatic methods worked, but not why they worked. His subsequent insight was that the therapeutic effectiveness of these techniques is because they “are profoundly related to the dynamics of human growth” (Moreno 1952 in Fox, 1987:136).

Moreno invented the Social and Cultural Atom as an innovative way to display the self and the range of its significant relationships. It depicts the significant people in an individual’s life, their social atom, overlaid with their dynamic relational patterns, their cultural atom. Its usefulness is that it sets the context for developmental work by understanding patterns in how tele and spontaneity function in relationships. Essentially it a tool for self-awareness.
Galileo (b.1564) said, “You cannot teach people anything. You can only help them discover it within themselves”. As a method of self-discovery, psychodrama works because it is guided by principles that capture fundamental aspects of human nature. Specifically, the potency of psychodrama emerges whenever attention is paid to four areas of human existence: the living nature of the group, the flow of spontaneity, embodied action and the ritual power of theatre. Each of these areas implicitly captures something that people respond to, but in combination they create a therapeutic theatre where participants’ inner life or spirit is sustained and nourished.

As human beings, we regularly find ourselves at our growing edge. It may be the edge of awareness, the edge of our skill, the edge of what we can tolerate. This involves a dance between the inner forces that undermine the natural need for growth, and the ability to hold oneself in the unknown and stay open to what might be emerging. In this workshop, you will have the opportunity to explore your growing edge, your role development, your process of learning and what you would like to develop further, both at work and in life.
Living in the here and now is central to the psychodramatic approach. The past has gone, the future has not yet arrived and the only changes we can make are in this moment. In this way, as Max Clayton taught, the present is vital for our existence. Living in the moment means accepting what is and accepting others as they are right now, creating a solid basis for everything that flows afterwards.
Every psychodrama necessarily involves spontaneity. Moreno was convinced of the centrality of spontaneity-creativity as the root of all existence. From this come his formulations on understanding human behaviour and what it is that enhances human life. Consider the practices of doubling, mirroring and role reversal, and how life-giving they are when they are at their most effective, and his constant urging for us all to live in the here and now. Yet, spontaneity remains a mystery.
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.

Psychodrama is known as the Theatre of Truth, in that we explore the ‘truth’ by dramatic methods. One of the capacities of the method is that it recognises the powerful human need to live an authentic life, to be congruent in our being across all domains of life. It calls on us to live our truth, to embody it as we feel it and bring this into relationship, at work, play, and in community. In authenticity we have more capacity to change, to do the work that matters to us. In this way we grow.
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.
