Course Description
The MA Drama and Movement Therapy (Sesame) course is for those wanting to follow a unique vocational training in the principles and practices of the Sesame approach to drama and movement therapy. The course is delivered in association with the Sesame Institute.
The Sesame approach incorporates the philosophies and theories of certain key psychologists and practitioners, including Jung, Laban, Slade and Lindkvist. The work of these individuals is explored in relationship to the discipline of dramatherapy and its emerging articulation. Essentially, the approach introduces drama and movement as a means of accessing and expressing unconscious processes and hidden qualities, so that these can be explored, expressed and reflected upon. This draws mainly on Jung’s insights into the self-regulation of the psyche. Movement is introduced as a central feature within the dramatic medium, as well as specific attention to Laban and approaches to movement with touch and sound. The Sesame approach engages the body in a dramatic context through play, improvisation, character work and story and myth enactment.
