In this workshop, we apply role training, a specific form of the psychodrama method, to bring greater spontaneity to conversations that matter.

Spontaneity lies at the heart of the psychodrama method. It emerges in the here and now, as we relate to this moment unencumbered by habitual responses from the past. It is an antidote to anxiety-driven reactivity and isolating tendencies. The spontaneous person can bring a fresh response to old, familiar situations and meet new situations with vitality and immediacy. Role training focuses on identifying critical moments when we lose our spontaneity and developing the freedom to respond in a new way in those moments.

The relational self is the foundation of human functioning. How this develops can been by the pattern and quality of relationships that exist for each individual. In psychodrama this is known collectively as a person's social and cultural atom, the unit of society that sustains them. Yet, within that personalised society there are relationships that remain difficult, conflicted or stuck in the past.

Role reversal requires the willingness to consciously choose to empty oneself, making room to genuinely experience the other’s reality, and then to return to the primary self and integrate new insights into the personality. Bold move! Especially when we are resistant to being affected by the other.

An evening of Psychodrama with Rollo Browne.

Moreno described Psychodrama as a Rehearsal for Life. This evening will introduce you to Psychodrama - a technique for exploring and reimagining dramas in our lives and in society. The best way to understand the power of Psychodrama is to experience it and these evenings are designed to give you an opportunity to experience Psychodrama in a welcoming environment.

Bring a friend for an evening of learning and fun. Join in the action or be part of the audience and experience the drama unfold. Experience the power of action methods and gain new perspectives on the way we relate in today’s world. There will be opportunities for questions about the method and its application.

This year long training program covers the core knowledge, skills and personal development that underpin the practice of Morenian methods (psychodrama, sociodrama, sociometry and role training). It equips participants to integrate psychodramatic processes into their professional practice, bringing greater vitality, depth and immediacy to their work.  

The course is designed for you to bring Morenian experiential methods into your thinking and practice. You will have the opportunity to experience psychodrama, broaden your production capabilities, develop greater flexibility in your group work and deepen your therapeutic and systems interventions. You will master the basic techniques, understand warm up, see and feel the effect of increased spontaneity in yourself and others. Imagine if you could bring this spontaneity into your work! The purpose is to apply your learning in your work and life, to be more effective in your work and have more satisfying interactions.

This workshop focuses on moving from an intention or purpose, to producing action on the stage.
We will refine our use of the five instruments of psychodrama - the director, protagonist, auxiliaries, stage and audience - in producing life giving enactments. We will explore how Moreno's universal elements of time, space, reality and the cosmos, provide structure for creative production.
Alongside the focus on the production of a psychodrama enactment, you are invited to warm-up to the areas of your own life (including your work life) where you want to more readily move into action.

This open night is led by Dimitrios Papalexis, an advanced Psychodrama Trainee and Associate Member of AANZPA.

Individuals and societies have important life milestones. Those milestones and expectations can change from generation to generation and individual to individual depending on the social, cultural,  political and economic context and also our personal values. In this open night we will explore, through the method of psychodrama, personal meaningful milestones (past, current or forthcoming) and the wisdom they carry.

About Dimitrios Papalexis: Dimitrios is a counsellor, trainer and consultant on youth and community development, storytelling and arts. He has been awarded the NSW Youth Worker of the Year Award in 2019 and the “A Cause for Applause” Score More Foundation award in 2020. His passion lies in blending creative, community and healing arts for social change and impact.

Psychodramatic role theory provides a framework for understanding human functioning in a holistic and non-judgemental way. The individual is seen in the context of their life and relationships, taking into consideration developmental experiences that impact on their current orientation to the world. Attention is given to cognitive, feeling and action elements of human functioning, to the person’s capacity to warm-up in a way that promotes vitality, and to their ability to relate to the emerging moment.

This program focuses on the application of role theory as a holistic approach to assessment and as a guide to clinical decision-making.
