sociatry

[Adam Blatner]

Howdy---was just in contact with one of the authors of our 2007 anthology, Interactive & Improvisational Drama: Varieities of Applied Theatre and Peformance. Just for the record, we should note that a good deal of what Moreno would call "sociatry" is indeed being pursued by practitioners of applied theatre, drama therapy, drama in education, programs of social and emotional learning in schools, and related fields. Many of these folks have hardly heard of Moreno, though I've made attempts to share this background. 
      Historically, Moreno has had some influence in many of these efforts, but others have also had some similar insights and a good deal of influence. Point is that we should not presume that we are the only keepers of this light, and that we might both give something and learn something by building bridges with our related fields. It is fun to be part of a complex ideas whose time has come, though!
