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!
