Abstract

The Animation Project (TAP) is a therapeutic workforce development program that teaches put-at-risk youth digital technology skills and develops core professional skills. Drama therapy theory and interventions are often employed by TAP creative arts therapists in guiding young adults in their professional development. A case illustration is presented to showcase how a participant may move through the levels and how role theory has been used to develop the professional persona alongside technical advancement. The results of this illustration indicate that role theory and method interventions positively enhanced a TAP intern’s professional persona alongside technical skill acquisition.

Résumé

The Animation Project (TAP) est un développement de la main d’œuvre thérapeutique qui enseigne les mises en dangers des compétences des jeunes en technologie numérique et développe les compétences professionnelles de base à connaitre. La théorie et les interventions de la dramathérapie sont souvent utilisées par les thérapeutes des arts créatifs de TAP afin de guider les jeunes adultes dans leur développement professionnel. Une illustration de cas est présentée pour montrer comment un participant peut évoluer et comment la théorie des rôles a été utilisée afin de développer l’identité professionnelle parallèlement au progrès technique. Les résultats indiquent que la théorie des rôles et les interventions méthodologiques ont eu un effet positif sur l’identité professionnelle du stagiaire LPA tout en acquérant des compétences techniques. Les résultats de cette illustration indiquent que la théorie des rôles et les interventions méthodologiques ont amélioré positivement la personnalité professionnelle d’un stagiaire LPA parallèlement à l’acquisition de compétences techniques.
