Throughout the day, you will examine ways in which theatre can be used to transform lives. Explore the basic tenets of the CANY model of drama therapy through theory and group activities. Participants will experience the drama therapy process in action, gain practical skills in how to safely explore trauma and challenging life experiences through metaphor and play, and participate in drama therapy interventions aimed at improving client relatedness, self-esteem, emotional expression and self-regulation, spontaneity and the capacity to play a diverse range of life roles.<\/p>\n Led by Registered Drama Therapists & CANY group leaders<\/p>\n PENNSYLVANIA<\/strong><\/p>\n Pig Iron Theatre Company<\/strong> Beginning with the body, Pig Iron’s Summer Session in Philadelphia aims to train performers to be flexible, fearless, present, passionate and disciplined. The goal is to give students the skills to develop their own artistic voice while being grounded in the values of collaboration, experimentation, risk, and a curiosity about the world around us.<\/p>\n The Summer Session is an immersive training program for creative theatre artists interested in pushing the boundaries of contemporary performance. Rooted in Pig Iron’s own artistic questions and performance techniques, the intensive workshop is intended to launch performers into the world of physically precise, emotionally rich, imaginatively constructed original theatre. The pedagogical approach will be one of deep inquiry and research grounded in physical training and constantly seeking moments of transcendent live performance. The student’s curiosity will fuel the journey toward the discovery of the full expressiveness of the body and voice.<\/p>\n The Summer Session will encourage students to unlock their own creativity and will nourish true collaboration among artists. Though students will be working on provocations that come from the faculty, the ultimate goal of the workshop is to open up each student’s vision for the many possibilities of live performance.<\/p>\n AUSTRIA<\/strong><\/p>\n International Performing Arts Lab<\/strong> Intensive practical training, lectures and discussions guided by leading experts and teachers from different countries.
