Shakespeare at Notre Dame
Approaches to Drama Therapy, featuring Marin Shakespeare Company (SiPC4)
Why Shakespeare Now?
The 4th International Shakespeare in Prisons Conference (SiPC4) gathers theatre arts practitioners, researchers, and scholars who are currently engaged with or interested in programs for incarcerated (and post-incarcerated) populations. SiPC4 stimulates discussion through speakers, performances, and workshop sessions offering case studies and best practices within the prisons arts movement.
Approaches to Drama Therapy
In this session, Drama Therapists and Shakespeare for Social Justice teaching artists for Marin Shakespeare Company share insight on how drama therapy techniques influence the work we do inside the walls. The objective is to introduce some basic Drama Therapy skills that build qualities of connection, emotional awareness, and empathy, as well as the theory behind it. Warm-ups and exercises that can be applicable to any class experience are demonstrated. In our live session, we will conduct a more hands-on experience, and invite participants to play with some Shakespeare text.
