What happens in dramatherapy?

Dramatherapy work can take place in a one-off session but more usually runs over a fixed period of sessions or as more long-term ongoing work.  A typical session will often consist of a warm-up phase which links into a main activity and is followed by a closure period. Examples of Dramatherapy techniques: - Work with story and Myth             - Drama games - Role-play and improvisation            - Use of masks and puppets - Multi-sensory work How can dramatherapy be effective? The range of creative media offer ways of developing self-expression and defining self image.  The dramatic form can also be used to rehearse social skills.  This can set up a supportive atmosphere and build confidence.  Drama therapy can also help people explore different ways of relating to people or issues.
