Abstract

This paper describes a Dramatherapy training workshop in Northern Italy. It is based on a Theatre Model of Dramatherapy, illustrating how the theories and practices of theatre itself can be at the core of Dramatherapy practice. This workshop was based on Bertolt Brecht’s theatre using extracts from the play text The Caucasian Chalk Circle and drawing on Brecht’s theories of acting, epic theatre, gestus and political aesthetics in the service of the Dramatherapeutic process.
