Open demonstrations of psychodrama & sociometry are opportunities for the public to experience a taste of these action methods. It’s not uncommon for someone to have never heard of psychodrama to want to see it in action before committing to a full training. Viola! The open demo allows for just that!
Psychodrama is a form of psychotherapy that involves acting out real-life scenarios to explore and understand one's emotions, behaviors, and relationships. In an open demonstration of psychodrama, a psychodrama director will invite participants to participate a psychodramatic enactment.
The psychodramatic enactment may involve a range of techniques, such as role-training, improvisation, and dialogue. The protagonist may be asked to reverse roles with other participants to gain a new perspective on their situation.
Throughout the demonstration, the director will facilitate the process, ensuring that the emotional intensity of the enactment is kept within a safe and manageable range. The director may also offer insights and interpretations to help the protagonist gain greater self-awareness and understanding.
An open demonstration of psychodrama can be a powerful way to experience the benefits of this therapeutic approach, both as a participant and an observer. It can provide insight into one's own emotional experiences and relationships, as well as deepen empathy and understanding for others.
Please note the special pricing for the Open Demonstrations of Psychodrama. Single ticket cost is $40 and two for one cost is $40. This allows you to try something new while brining a friend or colleague!
