Fw: CCA Workshop in NYC Sept. 16th

[Adam Blatner]

So what if psychodrama people started building bridges and participating in this kind of 
event? Might it help revitalize, cross-fertilize, energize both psychodrama and the other 
fields?
       Warmly, Adam

  The Center For Creative Alternatives Presents

  Songs of Myself: A Celebration of Self in Group
  A Drama Therapy Workshop Co-led by Dr. Robert Landy and Emily Nash

  This workshop inaugurates the second year of the Center for Creative Alternatives, an 
institute offering training and personal growth experiences in drama therapy and 
therapeutic group process. In this first workshop we will respond to Walt Whitman's 
challenge to celebrate the magnificent complexity of ourselves. Our methods of celebration 
will be through drama, poetry, song, story, and movement. As our work centers in the 
connection between drama therapy and group process, we will examine our many facets within 
the crucible of the group.

  This workshop aims to:


  ·         Continue to build a community of artists, therapists, mental health 
practitioners and clergy committed to personal exploration and the application of drama 
and group process in their professional work.
  ·         Create dramas, poems and songs that celebrate who we are and our place in the 
world at this point in time.
  ·         Develop and share our personal performances within a receptive community as a 
means of affirming our common humanity.


  The format of this workshop is experiential and didactic, with ample time given for 
personal reflection, discussion of the creative and therapeutic process, and possibilities 
of application in diverse communities.
