Art Of The Heart

Drama therapy practices leave one with no choice but to drop the personality, the layers of self that have been built for protection. As participants drop this identity, their comfort zones are expanded into a space where personal growth happens.

This three day workshop reflects one’s persona back at them. Over the three days, several different kinds of techniques and exercises will drop participants into a learning process that allows them to dissolve the ego. In learning to take space in the most authentic way, one needs to look at the insecurities and trauma they base their personality on.

The Bouffon technique is the backbone of this workshop. It is the art of mockery. Started in 8th century Rome, it was first discovered as therapeutic in the 16th century in France. In the workshop, it is used as a tool for one to express their triggers and perhaps discover ones they never knew existed. This mockery to parody to the grotesque technique brings upon liberation and allows participants to explore and reveal their shadows in a safe space.

The workshop will also provide a space for storytelling around the fire. This unique experience energetically feeds the creator within as participants have the opportunity to tell their story around a sacred fire.
