Body and emotional regulation
Presence, breathing and movement exercises help restore contact with the body and support work on emotional regulation.
Drama therapy
Theatre as a space for expression, relationship and transformation.
A practice combining theatre training, psychology and arts-based mediation to create a protected space for listening, experimentation and relationship.
Theatre as a form of mediation
Not performance, but work with the person.
Drama therapy does not aim at stage performance or the production of a show. It uses dramatic play, bodywork, voice and improvisation to help people explore their inner world and their relationships with others.
The stage space becomes a protected place in which to experiment with new roles, gain distance from what one is experiencing and give form, including through metaphor, to emotions and experiences that are difficult to express directly.
Aims of the work
Self-esteem and sense of efficacy
Theatre play makes it possible to explore creative resources and new forms of expression beyond familiar roles and labels.
Relationships and psychosocial skills
Listening, trust, improvisation and group work encourage empathy, cooperation and attention to personal boundaries.
Distance and symbolisation
Theatrical metaphor allows experiences and conflicts to be explored through character and fiction, creating a protected space for processing.
The workshop
Three stages: arriving, exploring and returning to reality.
Each session maintains a recognisable and safe framework, alternating bodywork, theatre experimentation and a final moment of sharing.
- 01Welcome and grounding
Arrival rituals, breathing, voice, movement and simple presence exercises.
- 02Experimentation and dramatic play
Improvisation, objects, stories, metaphorical themes, roles and stories created together.
- 03Leaving the character and sharing
De-roling, talking circle, sharing experiences and a calm conclusion.
A multidisciplinary background
Theatre, psychology, pedagogy and neuroscience.
My background includes theatre training, a degree in Psychological Sciences and Techniques, a Master’s in Addictions and Risky Behaviours, and a Master’s in Pedagogy and Neuroscience.
These experiences come together in the workshops, where theatre becomes a tool for expression, relationship and support.
