British Psychodrama Association - Festival 2021

Wed Jul 28 13:09:06 UTC 2021

Dear All,

This is a reminder that bookings are now open for the BPA's 2021 Online
Festival of Psychodrama and Sociodrama, taking place from *3rd to 24th
September 2021.*
Booking information is at the end of this email.

Let’s meet three of our presenters today and learn about their workshops.

*PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS FOR DIRECTING PSYCHODRAMA & SOCIOMETRY VIA ZOOM
VIDEO CONFERENCING*
Saturday 4th September 2021 5:00 pm – 9:00 pm (BST)

Presented by *DANIELA SIMMONS*

*Daniela Simmons, *PhD, TEP, is the creator of the Tele’Drama Method and
the founder of the International Tele’Drama Institute and community. She is
a Certified Trainer, Educator, Practitioner (TEP), Supervisor in
Psychodrama, Sociometry and Group Psychotherapy through the American Board
of Examiners (ABE). Daniela is the President of the American Society of
Group Psychotherapy and Psychodrama (ASGPP). Her professional experience,
both in Europe and the United States, is in education, research, and
consultancy work in the social sciences, applied gerontology, and mental
health. Her background includes serving as the leader of several large
organisations and founding a professional journal for mental health.
*Description:* More than 60 years ago, Dr. J.L. Moreno explored ‘Treatment
at a Distance’, ‘Television Psychodrama’; ‘Therapeutic Motion Pictures’ and
‘Telephone Therapy’. He wrote, “If the technologist can replace the ‘audio
telephone” with a ‘video telephone’, the patient and therapist could not
only hear but also see each other in action” (J.L. Moreno, 1963). The
presenter and a creator of the Tele’Drama method believes that offering
psychodrama online is a way of fulfilling one of Moreno’s dreams.

This session will offer both didactic and experiential application of
directing psychodrama via Zoom Video Conferencing. Participants will be
able to experience online sociometry, warm-ups, action and sharing; the
implementation of various psychodrama techniques; and participate in
various roles of their choice - protagonist, auxiliary or audience. The
session will demonstrate various encounters in the virtual space. Moreno
believed that psychodrama ‘brings the entire cosmos into play’. This
concept applies to the virtual reality of the online sessions, where the
participants are physically located thousands of miles apart, but
psychologically are together in the same meeting space, immersed
simultaneously ‘into (the) play’.
