> What is it about the creative space that is so compelling; so satisfying? Do we gain 
> deeper access to ourselves, either through the act of creation, or by witnessing 
> another's creative process?  What is it that draws us so powerfully to be actors, 
> directors, writers, and artists? Perhaps it is the distancing quality of the role, 
> theatrical text,> or story telling that allows us to "hide" our true selves, and try on 
> alternative selves that are "me" and "not me" at the same time.
>
> And what of the healing power of improvisational play and the sense of freedom and 
> connection it engenders?  Do drama and theater put us more in touch with that playful 
> spirit we had as children?
>  It is these and other healing qualities of drama and theater that have contributed to 
> the development of Drama Therapy as an effective, rewarding and fulfilling healing 
> profession
