Sociodrama open evenings?

[Peter Howie]

Hi Peter,

Yes this year I have been running a monthly psychodrama open evening 
through our local Institute the Moreno Collegium for Human Centred Learning 
Research and Development. At present on the last Wednesday of the month Feb 
- Nov. We had an open sociodrama evening with the theme Gender in the 21st 
century: change, power and relationships" last week and that was well 
attended. We though we might have regular themed and unthemed sociodrama 
evenings - with wonderful provocative titles like "Gender bah humbug!" or 
"Children should still be seen and not heard. In fact not being seen would 
be good as well!" or "War - what is it good for?" etc etc.

I am discussing running some open community sociodramas on "responses to 
climate change". we could call them "Climate change: bring it on".

Your idea of regularity bears consideration. Alternately having open nights 
well programmed into web based calendars could do the same thing.


Cheers

Peter in Brisbane
