2.Principles of Drama Therapy: Profession & Methods
This online course is geared for the Masters/PhD level student, clinician, expressive art educator, who is studying drama therapy for various educational purposes, clinical practice growth, or in order to become a registered drama therapist (RDT). It reviews the history, profession, methods, and research of the drama therapy field. This course is a requirement of the North American Drama Therapy Association (NADTA) and is usually the first course assigned by a board certified trainer (BCT) in order to begin certification for the Alternative Track (AT) program, where upon internship hours may be accrued. The course invites a collaborative cohort to participate in assigned readings, creative projects, discussions, and journal writing used for parallel processing personal experience. Art materials, video, and other expressive art tools will complement the more didactic part of the course and will be shared weekly via face to face zoom contact and email. Students will create final projects that enable them to implement a drama therapy intervention with a preferred method.
--------------------------------------------------------------
3.Experiential Self-Care/Poem-House Workshop: Introducing Embodiment, Projective, and Role Play (EPR) Approaches in Drama Therapy
Pause and make time for yourself. Explore and create through drama therapy, guided meditation, expressive arts, and poem-houses--a three dimensional method of assemblage art developed by UK artist Brigid Collins and further devised as therapeutic and self-care practice by Dr. Mimi Savage in order to uniquely benefit from self-expression, personal awareness, supportive community and a culminating event celebrating your creation. All welcome. This course counts as AT credit required by NADTA.
--------------------------------------------------------------
4.Projective Methods in Drama Therapy: Applications for Therapeutic & Educational Practice
Complement and enhance your practice with person-centered constructivist, action method interventions that encourage client awareness through embodiment and positive affect without reliance on talk. Learn how to use externalizing projective tools such as puppets, masks, PSA’s with digital apps, art, sand tray, dollhouse, story making, writing, poem houses, and more that can unburden somatic and psychological affects of trauma and other psycho-social conditions. Learn how projective interventions can lead into role playing and role reversal to help clients gain perspective through meaning making. This course meets AT requirement of the NADTA.
--------------------------------------------------------------
The SoCal Drama Therapy Centre offers curriculum in drama therapy and expressive therapy for professional development and for certification to become a registered drama therapist (RDT). Courses are taught on-line, hybrid and on campus to both U.S. and international students. Whether you are entirely new to the profession of facilitating others or you are already a therapist or educator, the Alternative Training (AT) approach means you can take courses at your own pace and complement your existing professional practice or academic course under the supervision of Dr. Myriam Savage, a board certified trainer (BCT) in drama therapy. We will cater to each class/cohort's time zones for online and hybrid courses, consulting on best times for you to meet!
We also offer internship/supervision opportunities for those students already enrolled in accredited college AT programs in the fields of drama therapy and expressive therapy. Our aim is to train interns to be competitive creative art therapists, providing them with a gratifying learning experience and mentorship that prepares them for whatever professional opportunties they will meet.
