A Dramatherapy Session

A session begins with sitting and talking.  This then leads on to creative work.  The creative work can be focussed on what has been talked about at the begining of the session or can continue from themes or work from previous weeks.  Sometimes people prefer to work with a theme over several weeks or find the need to work with what comes up for them in the moment.  Every session is led by what the individual's needs are.

The creative work can include some or all of the following depending on the person:

• Exploration of images and objects
• Storytelling, and/or enactment
• Craft or artwork
• Music and movement 
• Play, drama games and other imaginative activities
• Puppetry and masks
• Poetry and writing
• Improvisation and role-plays
• Verbal reflection

At the end of the creative work there is time for closure, helping to move from the world of the imagination to the here-and-now, and finally verbal reflection.
