SDS February Training Day |
|
|
|
Dundee Rep. Theatre |
|
February 19th saw the return of James King to Dundee |
|
along with his theatre group ‘Bag-a-Trix’ for the SDS |
|
In-Service day entitled ‘Spirit Levelling’. The day was |
|
facilitated by 2 dramatherapists - Genevieve Smyth |
|
based at the Rep and John Lyons based in an NHS |
|
Trust in Hull. They took participants on an experiential |
|
journey through a Dramatherapy Service model, bring- |
|
ing to light the need to focus on the service user as well |
|
as balancing resources from the service provider’s point |
|
of view. Collaboration was the key word and this was |
|
echoed in James King’s group’s performance at night to |
|
an audience of mental health users and providers who |
|
were able to see their frustrations and determination |
|
explored through a series of improvisations. Overall, it |
|
was a cognitive as well as sensory experience which |
|
led participants to a closer examination of their practice. |
