31 October 2015 : Creating an Atmosphere of Possibility

null

The masterclass series is SDEA's platform to advocate regular professional development among drama educators, drama trainers and theatre practitioners through flexible and skills-focused 5-hour workshops. In coming across disruptive students in the classroom, the temptation is often to label them as difficult, oppositional or naughty and uncooperative. Psychodrama can offer a fresh way of viewing these challenging moments. In this masterclass with experiential therapist Sharmini Winslow, you will have the opportunity to explore and experience the world from many perspectives and generate ideas that will create an 'Atmosphere of Possibility'. The workshop is recommended for educators, trainers and people who work with at-risk youths.
