About Expressive arts therapy:

Expressive arts therapy is the practice of using storytelling, singing, instrumental music, movement and dance, drama, and visual arts, all together, in an integrated way, to foster human growth, development, and healing.

Expressive arts therapy is predicated on the assumption that people can heal through use of imagination and the various forms of creative expression.

An Expressive arts therapist may specialise in a particular modality, but Expressive arts therapy is an inter-modal therapeutic discipline in which the therapist and client may move freely between drawing, dancing, music, drama, poetry, etc. 

In Expressive arts therapy, when the therapist and client see fit to do so, they discuss the client’s feelings and thoughts that have arisen in the client in the process of the client expressing him/herself in the artistic process.

Expressive arts therapy focuses on the client’s experience of expression, and on reflection upon the client’s feelings and thoughts that may have arisen during this experience.  The artistic product is of secondary importance.

Expressive arts therapy utilises a gentle non-judgmental approach, enabling the client to become aware of what is happening in his/her unconscious - through artistic expression, and then reflection upon and discussion about this expression.

Expressive arts therapy uses creative processes in therapeutic, rehabilitative, community, or educational settings to foster health, communication, and expression; promote the integration of physical, emotional, cognitive, and social functioning; enhance self-awareness; and facilitate change, including in relation to personal growth and community development.

Expressive arts therapy can be practiced with individuals, couples, families, and groups.

Dance Movement Therapy & Music Therapy


Workshops in July 2013

a) Dance Movement Psychotherapy (13 to 17 July 2013)
b) Music Therapy (8 to 12 July 2013)



Dance Movement Psychotherapy
Date:13 to 17 July 2013
This course aims to provide you with the basic concepts of theory and practice in Dance Movement Psychotherapy. As the body remembers its story, with an engagement with movement it helps people get in touch with themselves in a more deeper way and can lead to new discoveries about themselves.
Body and movement is the medium of creative process during the therapy, therefore the therapist helps the clients get in touch with their inner world in an authentic way. The therapist does not need a background in dance to facilitate this process. Psychodynamic principles will be the main medium of theoretical approach that will be used to connect the cathartic process to cognitive understanding.
The main areas of focus are:
-       Working with different cliental groups using movement as a medium of communication
-       Exploring the concepts of attunement and empathy in communication

-       Working with ones own movement and trying to connect it with their life experiences
-       Using other tools to help explore the movement process
You will be awarded a certificate of completion at the end of the course. The classes will be 9 AM to 3 PM, Between 3 PM to 4 PM you will have to work on a class assignment everyday.

Introduction to Psychodrama

Psychodrama is an experiential group work method based on the principals of Dr J. L. Moreno (1889-1974).  Psychodrama has been the basis of many theories and practices of group work since 1923.  It has applications in a variety of settings.  Psychodrama is an action method and involves the use of dramatic enactment to explore themes, events and stories in our lives.


This meeting will provide an introduction to the use of core principals and techniques of Psychodrama including role theory, sociometry and sociodrama.  It is suited for people working or studying in a variety of fields such as health, education, organisational development, the creative arts and pastoral care.  Learning will be experiential, based on the interests and concerns of the participants, who can expect significant personal and professional growth.  Participants can expect to enjoy themselves as well as learn about this creative and positive method, which has relevance in work and in everyday relationships.


Life provides many positive challenges and possibilities, which are ours if we have the courage to take them.  This two-day experience sharing workshop will also assist those who want to develop greater strength, vitality and more effective relationships with themselves and others.

"Introduction to Using Storytelling for Therapy"
by Dr. Eric Miller (PhD in Folklore)
Director, World Storytelling Institute
  June 2011

The time has come for Storytelling Therapy to take its place alongside
Drama TherapyDance TherapyMusic TherapyVisual Art Therapy,
etc.

What is Storytelling Therapy?  It is, simply, using storytelling for therapy.
This can be done in many ways, as the below begins to describe.

Talk Therapy itself largely consists of Storytelling.  A major part of Talk
Therapy is that the client tells about what happened in the past.  Client and therapist together review and discuss how things happened, why they
happened, and perhaps how similar experiences (if negative) could be
avoided in the future.  Thus, alternate possible ways that things could go
are explored.

There is a difference between one’s life, and one’s life story.  One is at
 the centre of one’s life.  Thus, one may not have very much perspective
regarding it.  Sometimes in one’s life, many things may be “up in the air”.
It may at times be difficult to detach oneself from one’s situation and view
 one’s situations in a cool and objective manner.  One may not always
 have a clear sense of where one is going.

On the other hand, when one constructs one’s life story, one is constructing
an object, a story, that is distinct from one’s self, and that can be viewed as
a whole.  One’s life story -- like any story -- has a beginning, middle, and
end.  Thus, one’s life story may seem more manageable, and at times may
be more inspirational and less anxiety-provoking, than one’s actual life.

If a client’s life -- and life story -- is not going according to plan, the client
may wish to engage in “Life-Story Repair”.  Such repair work takes the
difficulties into account, makes the best of the situation, and charts a new
course towards an as happily-ever-after ending as possible.

Three types of stories we would be working with include:
1) True-Life (Autobiographical) Stories, and other Documentary Stories.
2) Traditional Stories (Epics, Fables, Fairy Tales, etc).
3) Made-up Stories.

When using storytelling for therapy, the stories may be supplied (recalled, composed, etc) by the therapist or by the client.  The client discussing a
story, and perhaps telling a story to others, may help the client to grapple
with and work through challenges that she or he may be facing in real life.

Whether a story's characters are humans, animals, divinities, aliens, etc
-- all stories are composed of situations.  Storytellers and listeners can
imagine themselves in a story’s situations, and can consider if they might
do things the similarly or differently from how the characters are doing
things.This provides the tellers and listeners with opportunities to re-live past
events, and to practice what they might do in future events.

ProjectionIdentificationEmpathyImitation, and Imagination are key
processes when it comes to people and storytelling.  People project
 themselves into story characters.  They tend to identify, and feel empathy,
with the characters.  This occurs through the use of people’s powers of imagination.  People may then imitate the characters of their favourite
stories.

In the course of Storytelling Therapy sessions, therapists and clients could
make lists of challenging situations that clients may face in a wide range of contexts, including those in relation to:
1) Family members,
2) Colleagues and others in the workplace, and
3) Health, economic, sexual-orientation issues.

Then they could consider these challenging situations, and (using their
imaginations, their abilities to weave fantasy), they could compose and tell
stories based on these situations.  They could come up with various
possible endings to a story -- some successful, some less so, for the
characters involved.

It may be that the client's healing may occur most powerfully when the
client creates or finds his/her own healing stories, and when the client tells
 such stories to others and leads discussions about these stories.  We want the
client to be in an active role -- as much as possible -- in relation to the
Storytelling Therapy process.

Therapists and clients could also explore ways in which the imaginative,
oral verbal, physical, and social processes of storytelling could be
therapeutic.
