NYC Drama Therapy Workshops

[Guest guest]

BLANTON-PEALE INSTITUTE IN NYC ANNOUNCES INTRODUCTORY WORKSHOPS IN DRAMA THERAPY

IN 2007-2008

Drama therapists use processes and techniques from the theatre to help clients

heal,

grow, access their creativity, and tolerate change.

Engaging in play with others incorporating movements and roles in scenes,

clients

often find their lives transforming beyond what they have been able to achieve

through

traditional talk therapy.

In the State of New York, drama therapists practice psychotherapy as Licensed

Creative

Arts Therapists (LCAT).

Workshops are being offered in preparation for the Drama Therapy Master's Degree

Program for which the Blanton-Peale Institute is applying to the New York State

Department of Education. These workshops are designed to help individuals who

are

curious about drama therapy as a career decide whether or not to enroll in the

two-year

program in order to obtain licensure and become professional drama therapists.

Individuals who want to learn about various forms of drama therapy but have no

plans to study drama therapy further are also welcome to take one of these

workshops.

First Workshop: October 25th, November 1st, 8th, 15th

Second Workshop: January 17th, 24th, 31st, February 7th

Third Workshop: April 3rd, 10th, 17th, & 24th

Time: 6:30pm-8:30pm, Thursday evenings

Cost: $240 per 4-meeting workshop
