Drama therapy is a form of psychotherapy that uses different dramatic and

theatrical techniques. In this four-session workshop, we will play through the

use of stories, metaphors, role play, and theater exercises to inspire

imagination. Participants will experience transformation intellectually,

emotionally and physically. We will be active and reflective. Participants will

set goals and explore a current or important story from their life in a safe and

non-judgmental space.

This course has two components — learning about drama therapy and experiencing

the healing process for oneself. This workshop is appropriate for anyone who is

interested in one or both areas. Participants will experience a fun, deep, and

insightful process with humor in a safe and non-judgmental space.

No previous theater experience is required. Anyone interested in getting to

know himself or herself in a new way is welcome. Therapists who want to learn

unique and creative ways of doing work with others are welcome. Anyone who wants

personal growth is welcome. I look forward to sharing the journey of Drama for

Healing. Taught in English and Japanese, as needed.

Participants need to be 17 years and older and should commit, if possible, to

attending all four classes: 5/1, 5/8, 5/22, and 5/29.
