Jeddah Hosts Drama Therapy Workshop on Power of Self-Expression
Cinema Al-Balad in Jeddah has recently hosted an inspiring drama therapy workshop to highlight the role of drama therapy in creative work and even in daily life, according to Arab News. Themed 'In drama we find the power to express, and in expression we find the power to heal,' the workshop was organized in collaboration with both Lujain Faqerah, senior psychologist and creative arts supervisor, and Abdul Al-Shareef, actor and screenwriter. How Can Drama Support Healing? During the event, the attendees had an interesting opportunity to explore how drama can be a source of support for emotional awareness, healing as well as connection. 'Drama is integrated naturally in our daily responses and situations. In a therapeutic setting, it helps us observe these interactions and reflect on a deeper level of our unconscious body gestures and movements that might reveal a lot about our personalities,' Faqerah said. Through the participation of therapists, creatives and others, the workshop focused on how the therapeutic techniques that depend on drama can help people connect with unconscious behaviors. Meanwhile, such techniques also boost self-expression and promote several skills such as acting and screenwriting. Interestingly, Faqerah noted that drama therapy is not about the performance; it is mainly about the expression that truly exists in emotions, memories, or internal conflicts. 'The word drama has a negative connotation to the extent that people reject it before trying. Drama therapy does not depend on acting skills or previous experience, but more on your self-expression and the challenges you experience,' she added. Meanwhile, Al-Shareef illustrated that many people may think that drama therapy is only for artists, but it is not. It is a tool that help people learn several practices to enhance the quality of their lives.
