with
Zsófi Kigyóssy & Giovanni Fusetti
(1)
DEEPENING THE JOURNEY OF PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT
Welcome back to a highly experiential and playful group of personal development in which the Psychodrama Approach and Physical Theatre will dance together to provide a unique experience of emotional awareness and embodied spontaneity.
This workshop is open exclusively to people who have already encountered the work of Zsófi and Giovanni in a previous session and who wish to continue their personal work bringing a theme of their choice.
In the three previous workshops the focus has been on relationships and interpersonal roles (Partnerships in Play), on intrapersonal roles (Personality dell’Arte) and on Family Systems and Dynamics (Famiglia dell’Arte).
This workshop is the natural evolution of the previous sessions and is open to those who, having already experienced the approach integrating Psychodrama and Physical Theatre, want to deepen their quest bringing some specific themes of their life that they want to explore with these tools.
Welcome back to the Theatre of the Psyche !

THE APPROACH
The pedagogical approach integrates the practice and the experience of the two facilitators.
Psychodrama proposes a journey of emotional awareness and creative transformation of one’s own psychic structure, roles and relationships through the re-enactment of inner and outer life scenarios. In this sense it is a highly theatrical therapeutic practice, in which the protagonist stages (enacts) a scenario of their life using the group both as cast (auxiliaries) and as audience of the play.

Physical Theatre provides a set of exercises, games and playful techniques that support the embodiment of the different roles, thus encouraging a deeper experience of the process. The result is a deep artistic and emotional work, involving the body in a dynamic of play and spontaneity.
Theatre artists will discover a fun way to work on themselves with psychological depth and theatrical delight.

Participants from different backgrounds, may have different access to income or to financial support. In an international training, different participants will also have very different travel costs.
