This experiential 15-hour training group will offer both a first-hand experience of the healing power of the arts as well as a foundational understanding of the theory and practice of expressive arts therapy. This training is designed for psychologists, therapists, social workers, counselors, life coaches, healers, activists, teaching artists, group facilitators, and other mental health professionals.
Participants will learn the subtleties of the Playback Theatre form, refine improvisation skills, and share in the often profound experience of hearing each other’s stories and bringing them to life. The Playback process helps develop intuition, insight, and creativity. It also creates community and connection among people by honoring the dignity, drama, and universality of their stories.
Previous theater experience is not a requirement. This training is for anyone interested in creating art from the specifics and complexities of our human experience. Shy people are welcome.
Personal stories transformed into improvised theater pieces, on the spot, incorporating music, movement, ritual, and spoken improvisation.
n the last several years we have witnessed a rise in anti-semitism. From the deadly demonstrations in Charlottesville, the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh, the violent insurrection on January 6th, 2021 to the attacks on Jewish people in reaction to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. How do we find hope, resilience and resistance in the face of these mounting assaults?
We invite you to join Armand Volkas, psychotherapist and drama therapist and Maggie Silverman, somatic movement therapist and creative arts facilitator, for an in person, half-day workshop where we will explore and process Jewish identity in the face of these disturbing developments.Through the sharing of personal and collective stories we will deconstruct and face our fears through the transformative power of drama therapy and the expressive arts.
Join us and other Jewish identified people, in community, as we take on this painful emerging reality.
As members of the Iranian Diaspora we hold many unexpressed feelings. We experience helplessness, confusion, shame and guilt as we witness the current cultural revolution in Iran from a distance. The reality is that we are relatively safe outside of Iran. However, each day we receive horrific images and reports of oppression taking place in our homeland. We long to help and be in solidarity with our brothers and sisters. During such traumatic times, we need a place to process, to metabolize all that we are going through. We need to witness and emotionally hold each other. We need to tell our stories and explore our unique identities and complex struggles. We seek to make sense and gain fresh insight to empower us to be a support for those who are fighting inside Iran. Members of the Iranian community in the Diaspora are invited to join us for this FREE transformative 4-hour workshop.

Autobiographical Therapeutic Performance (ATP) is an innovative short-term therapy approach that supports participants in identifying and transforming self-defeating “life scripts” through drama therapy processes. Participants will explore formative moments in their lives and identify self-limiting beliefs transmitted by family, society and personal traumas. Group and individual therapy sessions will include an inner journey through memories, images and emotions. Through the creation of your ATP you will begin to rehearse and embody new life-affirming narratives. The journey will culminate in a “rite of passage” performance presented to a group of your invited reparative and trustworthy witnesses.
Love Stories: An Evening of Playback Theatre During this event, the audience is invited to share their personal stories of love in all its colors, textures, and complexity ... a first love, a best friend, a beloved pet, a long-lasting love, or a cherished grandparent....
