Following our intuition and reclaiming our creativity.

A journey into The Sesame Approach of dramatherapy

With Martin Gill

Martin is a registered Sesame practitioner and UKCP and BPA psychotherapist. Those who know his work have been inspired and transformed by the ease in which they are able to find their expression through movement, improvisation and creativity. The Sesam approach is a simple yet profound Jungian approach to dramatherapy that is holistic, playful, accessible and yet profoundly evocative and meaningful.

Course Description

The aim of the 3 days is to introduce and experience a wide range of Dramatherapy methods through group work and the practical application of  some of the main models of practice:

v    Creative Expressive Model

v    The Sesame Method

v    Theatre Of Our Lives

Participants will gain:

v    An understanding of the varying methods; from the more theatrical approach of the Creative Expressive Model to the more healing arts approach of the Jungian Sesame Model that will offer an experience of Dramatherapy within a sound therapeutic framework, enabling informed choices about the relevance of dramatherapy and its relationship to ones own life and work .

v    An understanding of the healing nature of the artistic experience through performance and its relationship to therapy.

v    A range of practical group work tools to apply to own work practice

v    Time out for reflective practice and networking with other practitioners

Participants are actively encouraged to develop a greater awareness of themselves and others through the group process. Much of the learning takes place in the form of practical workshops.

Tutors will be emphasizing and effectively modelling the importance of mutual support and safety in the group to maximise the benefits of all creative work.
