Description
The training in 2020 involves participating in a year-long programme consisting of experiential workshops, reading, writing, peer practise group and supervision.
The focus of the first workshop for 2020 will be on expanding your ability to role reverse with a wide range of people. We will be building a cohesive working group together, through the use of Sociometry, Sociodrama, Psychodrama and Role Training.
During the evening workshops, we will focus on the areas of development identified in your training plans, where you consider your development as a psychodramatist and in professional roles. You will be asked to review and update your training plans before the first evening workshop. Your development as a writer will be integrated into all sessions.
You can expect to stretch yourselves and to identify and get involved with the perceptions, and values, of people who challenge you, especially in your professional capacity.
- Core Curriculum Training introduces the core elements of the psychodrama method.
- Intermediate Training: strengthens trainees’ directing, auxiliary and group work. At this point, trainees write a short paper in an area of interest applicable to their work.
- Advanced Training: trainees are required to choose a primary trainer, to belong to AANZPA, to run groups in the community and have supervision for their work.
This course is open to those who wish to develop their professional abilities, without necessarily becoming certificated practitioners.

Sara Crane is a TEP and Psychodramatist. She is the Director of Training for PANZ Ōtepoti Dunedin and Ōtautahi Christchurch and works as a visiting trainer in Brisbane. Sara’s love of psychodrama is grounded in her belief in the transformative power of spontaneity and human connection.
Sara has worked across multiple regions and sectors, giving her a rich understanding of the varied applications of psychodrama. She supports individuals and groups in navigating complex relational issues including a focus on family dynamics and extensive work with children in the context of their Whanau. She was involved in setting up START which was formed to provide clinical services to people who had survived sexual trauma. She has worked at a systemic organisational level including supervising teams within the NZ Ministry of Justice and attending to children and families in the legal system. She enjoys working with complex family systems supporting them to mediate conflicts and achieve healthier, more supportive relationships.
Sara is deeply concerned about the state of our changing world and the pressure and challenges for our communities. As a trainer, she seeks to support trainees to strengthen their abilities and develop their professional capacities to make a difference.

For her solace, Sara loves to write flash fiction, finding joy in the brevity and emotional depth of the form. Her dogs, cats and llamas continue to be beloved companions in both her outdoor adventures and some of her professional work. Psychodrama has enabled her to bring the threads of her life together and pass on the complexities and wisdom of the method.

He has worked for many years in NGO organisations Including post-earthquake with Ōtautahi organisation's Gap Filler and Greening the Rubble. His systemic orientation integrates a focus on the community, the developmental and the political spheres in enabling effective organisation and action.

He has been published in AANZPA's journal, where he writes about mythical stories, organisational culture, and the application of sociometry.
Simon holds qualifications in Not for Profit management. The skills developed through this complement his psychodrama experience, enabling him to integrate broader theories of human development, organisational dynamics and interpersonal communication into his practice. His leadership training has made him particularly effective working with teams and individuals in community organisations, helping them to navigate complexity with greater clarity and spontaneity.
Outside of his professional life, Simon keeps his creativity flowing through his passion for building things out of wood and earth.
