Description

Like an improviser, the director of a psychodrama, sociodrama, role training, sociometry, or group work session needs to accept each moment as it comes and respond in the here and now to what is emerging in the individual and the group; and then, to what is on the stage. They must balance being both ‘in the moment’ and ‘outside the moment’, constantly faced with the question of “what to do next?”. They make choices based on psychodrama theory, principles, and techniques; and need to be able to generate ideas for a way forward and to let go of these when they are not effective. This dynamic process requires role flexibility and a high level of spontaneity and creativity.

The improviser does not take an ‘anything goes’ approach, but trains themselves to listen to their thoughts and senses, imagine, follow the body, accept everything, make bold offers, and embody a courage to adapt with creativity to a constantly changing environment. In this workshop, there will be a focus on developing your ability to maintain a free-flowing presence as a group member and auxiliary, and as a director. Together we will seek to notice when your spontaneity, or that of others, drops, and to find ways to recover when this happens. We will work psychodramatically with that which inhibits our ability to act and our freedom of expression, and blocks our inherent playfulness.
