sociodrama thread

[BARNETT WEISS]

I apologize for possibly coming in on a late stage of this discussion. I wanted to know how much anyone has discussed the work of Augusto Boal who for my money is the greatest living ever sociodramatist who has done the work in some of the most challenging places and brought it forward as much or more than Moreno. In fact, Zerka gave him an award for his work at one of the International Congresses of Group Psychotherapy in the 90s.
For me, it would be impossible to adequately discuss or train people in the theory and uses of sociodrama without reference to and utilization of his work. Finally, the most dramatic evolution of all of this comes in the form of Transgenerational Ancestral family constellation work. For those still resisting looking into this work thoroughly, I can only say that It's use in the most dire of social situations has saved lives in large numbers. As far as I am aware, no one has attempted adequately to combine the spiritual ancestral multigenerational approach evolving in this work with the work devolving from Dr. Moreno's contributions and those of his followers who have created many brilliant add ons to his work as well as those who have done the same with Hellingers.  
THe aspect of the Spiritual for me is essential as noted so clearly by so many, one of whom Rachel Naomi Remen M.D.writes and promotes so elegantly of it out of her experiences and work. http://www.rachelremen.com/ see a beautifully inspired talk by her which I have attached  which illustrates this singularly to my way of thinking. 
There are so many of these spiritual warriors.  Too often, we in the "Sciences," deride their "non scientific," work pleading for objective data regardless of Heisenberg and Quantum theory as we spout off from our dark aged mentality. So, Sociodrama for sure evolving I pray. Shall We Survive?
 Best from Bud Weiss.
