Dramatherapy is the intentional use of drama to bring about positive transformation in a therapeutic environment. What is dramatherapy? Dramatherapy is the intentional use of drama to bring about positive transformation. It is a physical and creative approach to what is often an emotional or developmental problem. Dramatherapy is a Creative Arts Therapy that does not rely solely on vocal articulation to express emotions or explore personal issues.
Dramatherapy is a unique approach for unique individuals and their various life challenges. A variety of dramatic techniques such as role-play, story making, puppetry, masks and objects can be used to help an individual to tell his or her story, explore inner experience and achieve better self-awareness. The ability to observe and understand personal roles and the roles of others in our lives is heightened.
The safety of ‘dramatic distance’ in a dramatherapy session can assist the group member in processing the difficulties encountered in life. The permission this offers can often facilitate a deep and profound understanding and healing of these difficulties that might otherwise be too challenging to face.
The goals of a dramatherapy session include exploring ideas and possibilities, issues and problems; expressing and exploring feelings; developing spontaneity, imagination and creativity; improving self-image, self confidence; improving social and relationship skills.
Dramatherapy is a recognised clinical intervention and all practising dramatherapists should be professionally trained and registered with a state body. It can be employed as a short or long-term intervention.
