More on Drama Therapy
Drama therapy is the intentional use of theatrical and dramatic techniques to reach therapeutic goals.
It can take many forms depending on individual and group needs, skill and ability levels, interests, and therapeutic goals. It may include improvisation, drama games, storytelling, metaphor, enactment or role play, movement and gesture, performance, or ritual.
Drama therapists may also incorporate elements of visual art, music, poetry, or dance. Drama therapy is influenced by drama, theatre, psychology, anthropology, play, and other creative processes. Drama therapy is not psychotherapy.
