Drama for Recovery

"Each person must accept the cards life deals him or her: but once they are in hand, he or she alone must decide how to play the cards in order to win the game."

- Voltaire                        

Drama can be a powerful tool in assisting someone’s recovery from drug and alcohol addictions and eating disorders. Drama therapy is now widely used to treat many emotional, mental, physical and psychological issues. It is a means of discovery, a journey within to explore different aspects of the self in a creative and imaginative way. It focuses on movement, communication, voice, self exploration and expression. These benefits can also be achieved through the medium of drama itself and all our courses and workshops are tailored to the needs of the group or individual.

Recovery from Addictions

We offer courses for those recovering from an addiction where we focus mainly on the building up of self esteem, building trusting relationships, improved communication and self expression. They can also benefit the participant in releasing tension, and simply having fun. They can be modified to keep the focus on creativity and not on performance or can be tailored to a more performance based workshop where the participants would present or perform something at the end of the course.

Recovery from Eating Disorders

In workshops, for those recovering from an Eating Disorder or one on one sessions, if preferred, we focus on improving physical and emotional awareness. Through imaginative exercises and creative play our aim is to increase the participants self esteem, self knowledge and self awareness, therefore building a strong a sense of identity. The exercises are also tailored to help the sufferer explore the issues of control and trust. Through the exercises included in each session or workshop we aim to help them re connect the mind and the body and gain a positive self image.
