SCHOOL OF COMMUNICATIONS AND ARTS
Credit Points: 30
Prerequisites:
DMT5151 Module 1
 
Description:

Students refine and develop their work as they continue with their training group. Students use roles from dramatic fiction to develop their understand of patterns of human behaviour, and practice the processes of finding metaphors, through props, masks and enactments, that explicate psychotherapeutic models of understanding human behaviour. Throughout the sessions students have opportunities for modelling from the group leader, and practising their developing skills with one another. Students create autobiographical performances and reflect on the inherent processes. Students are introduced to the theory and practice of Theatre of the Oppressed. Drama therapy is a predominantly group based modality, and students learn theories of group processes, learn to focus attention on members of a group, as well as the group as a whole and develop their role as a therapeutic group leader. Leading local exponents of relevant models and schools of psychotherapeutic understanding (Psychodynamic, Narrative, Jungian, Gestalt, Cognitive, Behavioural, etc) lecture on theory, and provide skill based practice. Image seminars continue in this unit.
