 STORY OF THE SOUL

Storytelling is an art that uses facts and narrative to convey something to the audience. Thereby, it enables the individual to embrace and own the story of their lives. Whereas, psychodrama is a deep spontaneous action method that helps the individual to gain insight into their lives. 

Thus, the combination of the profound personal engagement in storytelling, and the equally profound exploration of image and character uncovered through psychodrama made this 4 session workshop unique and significant. The workshop was conducted on 6th,13th, 20th, 27th of August 2021 (Fridays) at 6:00pm to 8:00pm. It was facilitated by Laura Simms and Magdalene Jeyarathnam.

 Laura Simms is a Storyteller, Writer, Humanitarian, the Artistic Director of the Hans Christian Andersen Storytelling Center in NY and also the founder of The Center for Engaged Storytelling (new). 

Magdalene Jeyarathnam is a Certified Psychodramatist, Expressive Arts Therapist and the Director of the Indian Institute of Psychodrama. she is also the Director of the East West Center for Counselling and Training (an Expressive Arts Therapy Center based in Chennai, India); and a co-founder of the Expressive Arts Therapy Association of India.
