FIVE-DAY RESIDENTIAL PSYCHODRAMA INTENSIVE IN KNOXVILLE, MARYLAND
August 14-19
With Linda A. Ciotola, M.Ed., CET III, TEP and Catherine D. Nugent, LCPC, TEP
The intensity and cohesion of a small group living and working together for five days helps create a safe space for deep and powerful healing, learning and personal growth through psychodrama. Opportunities for personal work, as well as skills practice as director, auxiliary and group facilitator, are included.
Once we know who’s coming, we will tailor the workshop to participants’ preferences and needs. For example:
- Do you want to practice specific skills or skill sets, such as doubling, directing role reversals, auxiliary skills?
- Are you interested in sharpening your sociometric awareness?
- Do you have an act hunger to be protagonist? Related to a particular issue you can pinpoint? Because you haven’t yet experienced the protagonist role? Because you haven’t been protagonist for a while? Other?
- Do you want to practice directing (with or without coaching)?
-
- a full psychodrama
- an action warm-up
- the deepening double with couple,
- a vignette
- a sculpture or any other action structure commensurate with your background in psychodrama
- Do you want to deepen your understanding of psychodrama/sociometric theory?
