Playback, Sociodrama and Psychodrama

with Judy Swallow

April 27-29, 2012
Friday 6-9, Sat 9-5 and Sun 9-4

** in Berkeley, California**

Bay Area Moreno Institute
Berkeley, CA

What is Playback Theatre? What is Psychodrama? What is Sociodrama? How are each of these forms different? How are they similar? When and where is the best way each can be used? How can one be used in the service of the other?

This workshop will give a general review of each of these action methods. We will then explore how they work, experiencing their differences, similarities, and how they might interface. We will discover how to determine when each method can best serve specific populations and situations.

Experienced practitioners will be able to contribute their skills and ideas, while anybody who is curious and willing to engage with these forms will get a taste of the world of action methods. This workshop is appropriate for group leaders, teachers, therapists, social activists, and other similarly-minded people.
