NYC Drama Therapy Workshop!

[Adam Blatner]

Please pass along my encouragement to Emily and/or Robert to write up their approach to 
dream work; note how it is similar to or different from psychodramatic dream work; other 
concepts; and submit this as a paper for the Journal of Group Psychotherapy, Psychodrama & 
Sociometry; or The Journal of Creativity in Counseling;  or   The Arts in Psychotherapy 
(journal).
       Warmly, Adam

THE CENTER FOR CREATIVE ALTERNATIVES PRESENTS

  DREAMSTORIES: WORKING WITH DREAMS THROUGH GROUP PROCESS & THERAPEUTIC DRAMATIZATION

  A Drama Therapy Workshop Co-Led by
  Robert Landy, Ph.D., LCAT, RDT-BCT & Emily Nash, LCAT


  A dream is a theatre in which the dreamer is him/herself the scene, the player, the 
prompter, the producer, the author, the public, and the critic.
  ~C.G. Jung

  - How do our dreams reflect unfinished business in our waking lives?
  - In what ways can we be guided by the symbolic messages in our dreams?
  - How can we work with our dreams dramatically in order to make sense of the dream and 
the dreamer?
   - How can we apply our own experiences with dreams to professional work with clients?

  WORKSHOP: This workshop is about ways and means to work therapeutically with dreams in 
order to more fully make sense of our inner worlds. We begin with Jung's premise that the 
dream is a theatre, a stage upon which we unconsciously enact our unfinished business. In 
this workshop, we will attempt to make the unconscious conscious through a process of 
therapeutic dramatization informed by an interactive group process. The workshop will be 
both didactic and experiential as we work toward understanding how the enactment of the 
dream can help the dreamer live a more fully integrated life.

  FOR WHOM: Creative arts therapists, mental health practitioners, theater artists and all 
those who are interested in exploring the therapeutic component of theatre.

  ALL PARTICIPANTS are asked to bring one dream with them. The dream can be a recurring 
dream, a key dream from the past, or a very recent dream. You may bring either a fully 
recalled dream or a fragment. If you do not recall a dream, we will help you find one.
