Theatre personality Dileep Rangan T, who is conducting the workshop, says, “Today, at some point or the other, everyone feels a sense of loss and would be wondering what I am doing in life? Or am I doing all those things I wanted to do? There is no proper direction for many youngsters.
Being a theatre person, I know that the craft of theatre could help you answer some of these questions. This progressive workshop is a platform for people to understand themselves better and get introduced to the art of therapeutic theatre.”
To be held at The Book Office, Adyar, from May 30 to June 3, the five-day course would help the participant go through a complete process of reflection, understanding the self, self-confidence, communication, expression, movement, voice and decisiveness through the dynamics of theatre.
“The main focus is drama therapy – it is the use of theatre techniques to facilitate personal growth and promote mental health. A popular form of expressive therapy, this provides a theatrical platform for people to tell their stories, express feelings, set goals, solve problems and also achieve therapeutic goals.
Most of the theatre workshops organised in the city have a lot of therapeutic properties — but the organisers aren’t highlighting it as a therapy. But we have made it very specific to people’s needs and that’s why our workshop is different from others. We will be having various exercises which will help to bring out the performer in you. Each exercise would be a reflection to identify the problems,” Dileep explains.
