Introduction to Psychodrama series 3 – Sociodrama Workshop

This one day training workshop will serve as an introduction to sociodrama with a focus on key areas of theory and practice.

28 June: Sociodrama Workshop. Sociodrama is the application of the methods of Dr J L Moreno (1889-1974) to address social and group issues. Sociodrama has applications in education, organisational and community settings. The premise of sociodrama is that all human growth and human functioning is powerfully influenced by wider social influences in our culture. As human beings we grow up in a social field that exerts enormous influence that may be largely beyond conscious awareness. All our lives we have been bombarded with belief systems, value systems and ideas about how life should work. These social and cultural forces have a powerful influence on our everyday actions at home, in groups, at work, at play, in silence, when alone or when in relationships and in all group situations. Sociodrama addresses these social and cultural forces whether in the world, our country, our community, our workplace, our family or even all of these together.

The psychodrama method is taught experientially. This means that the training is highly interactive, involving you with working with yourself, your life, the life of others and the development of the group. This method of teaching provides a form of deep learning that grounds the learning in your identity not just a series of ideas. In this introductory workshop you will have an experience of the use of sociodrama to explore the social and cultural influences of situations in your life. This will enable new perspectives and new approaches to emerge.
