We often seek to restore a sense of power to those we work with. In this intensive, we will review a model for understanding trauma and its effects as occurring upon a continuum of internalized, relational, and systemic harm. We will also review current process and performance oriented approaches within and related to Drama Therapy including practices drawn from the Theatre of the Oppressed, Playback Theatre, and Developmental Transformations that attempt to address trauma and work towards the change that our individual clients, families, groups, and communities seek.
Thérapie par l‘art dramatique, trauma et changement social
Nous cherchons souvent à restaurer un sens de pouvoir chez ceux et celles avec qui nous travaillons, que ce soit de nature interne, relationnel ou systémique. Dans cet intensif, nous examinerons un modèle afin de comprendre le trauma et ses effets ayant lieu sur un continuum de dommages intériorisés, relationnels et systémiques. En outre, nous examinerons un processus et des approches actuelles orientées vers la performance, au sein de, et en lien avec la Thérapie par l‘art dramatique, qui tentent d‘aborder le trauma et de travailler vers le changement que nos clients individuels, familles, groupes et communautés recherchent.
