>>
>>   WORKSHOP: This workshop is about ways and means to work

>> 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

>>>>> I appreciate watching the dialogue about how we can make the
>>>>> ASGPP a
>>>>> stronger organization and increasing the size of the psychodrama
>>>>> community,
>>>>> including the view that we need to do a better job of drawing in a
>>>>> certain  segment of
>>>>> the population that is seriously under represented in our
>>>>> community;  namely,
>>>>> post-baby-boomers (people born after the early 1960s).  Perhaps  
>>>>> two
>>>>> additional metrics for measuring the success of the annual
>>>>> conference (and the
>>>>> psychodrama community) could be:  (1) how many first time  
>>>>> attendees
>>>>> we have
>>>>> attracted; and (2) are we increasing the demographic diversity of
>>>>> the  community.
>>>>> Does the ASGPP track these data points?
>>>>>
>>>>> I have several thoughts on these issues.  First, it seems to me
>>>>> that  the
>>>>> issue of ensuring the long term viability of the ASGPP and the
>>>>> psychodrama
>>>>> community may involve numerous issue, not merely bringing the cost
>>>>> of the annual
>>>>> conference down.  Has there ever been a formal study that  
>>>>> looked at
>>>>> the  issue
>>>>> of long-term planning for our community?  Some questions that
>>>>> could  be
>>>>> addressed:  What are the typical points of entry to the
>>>>> psychodrama  community?
>>>>> (Based upon anecdotal evidence, I do not think that most  people?s
>>>>> first exposure
>>>>> to psychodrama is the ASGPP annual conference.)  Do  we know how
>>>>> first time
>>>>> attendee have heard about the annual conference?   Are there
>>>>> segments of the
>>>>> population that we are not reaching, such as current  students who
>>>>> are studying
>>>>> to be mental health professionals or professionals in  other  
>>>>> allied
>>>>> fields
>>>>> that could use psychodrama?  What are the ASGPP and the
>>>>> psychodrama community
>>>>> doing well when it comes to drawing in new people?   What is not
>>>>> working?  If it
>>>>> has not already been done, does it make sense  for the  
>>>>> organization
>>>>> to draft
>>>>> a formal plan that would help to raise everyone?s   
>>>>> consciousness on
>>>>> the steps
>>>>> that we can take individually and collectively to  attract new
>>>>> people to the
>>>>> organization and the psychodrama community?
>>>>>
>>>>> Some things that come to mind that may be factors in our
>>>>> inability to
>>>>> attract post-baby boomers from joining our community, include:
>>>>>
>>>>> (1) Lack of knowledge of psychodrama ? how much outreach is being
>>>>> done?  Is
>>>>> there someway that we can better utilize the Internet to   
>>>>> publicize
>>>>> the ASGPP
>>>>> and the psychodrama community?  For example, is there  some way
>>>>> that we could
>>>>> have a link to our organization?s web site on the web  sites of
>>>>> other
>>>>> organizations that are populated by people who would be   
>>>>> interested
>>>>> in psychodrama,
>>>>> such as the American Group Psychotherapy  Association.  Do
