ASGPP Conference Submissions

[Adam Blatner]

Dear Drama Therapy Colleagues
     Please note that the theme of the ASGPP conference in mid-april involves an outreach 
to other fields---drama therapy certainly being up there as our top related field!  Please 
warm up and submit a workshop or some kind of presentation to the conference in 
Philadelphia in April---the due date has been extended to August 7th.

     Although I can't afford to fly to New York City for Barbara's workshops---I'll be in 
the midst of rehearsing for the part of Linus in our community production of the musical 
"You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown"---and also preparing for a series of 6 lectures on 
self-awareness--- this kind of thing that Barbara is doing partakes of the tone---it's too 
good for just drama therapists. Psychodramatists should be learning this stuff, too.
       Warmly, Adam

EXPLORING THE HEART OF MEANING

A SIX WEEK MOVEMENT, ART, AND POETRY WORKSHOP with BARBARA CHUTROO

Sundays from 5 – 7, Sept. 13, 20, 27, Oct. 4, 18, and 25

At Moving Body Resources – 112 West 27th St., 4th fl., NYC

The body gives meaning to many basic concepts, emotions, and mental
states.  In this workshop, we will explore this interplay of movement
and meaning.  We will include art and poetry to enrich our
explorations.  Selecting elements from our physical bodies, history,
myth, and the world around us, we will ask our living breathing
presence to find a resonance with these concepts and discover their
felt meaning.

Each week we will invite a new theme:

* Week 1 -  The elements of the body from conception to birth

* Week 2 –  The physical body – from bones to breath

* Week 3 – The animal kingdom

* Week 4 – The natural world - fire, water, earth, air, wood, and stars

* Week 5 – Archetypes and myths

* Week 6 – Emotions, transitions, and endings

$35 session, $180 for the series
