SUNG PSOLODRAMA
Dear Friends,
Even more fun than doing psolodrama is doing
sung psolodrama.
Something magical happens when the psoloist is not just speaking what a character is saying, but also singing it. Singing connects the psoloist with her deepest emotions, providing a powerful additional channel to express feelings and meaning through pitch, timbre, rhythm, poetic or rhyming lyrics, etc.
Even if you cannot sing at all, just "aiming for singing" can produce strong results -- what may come out is a rap, a chant, a rhythmic delivery, something atonal. Our goal for this session, as always, is to create a safe and judgment-free space for everyone to explore.
For September's Insight Improv Lab, we will do an improvisational singing warm-up to get ready, and then practice sung psolodrama in pairs and as a group.
This will be a fun, deep, and active session -- and, as always, free of charge. Don't miss it!
Looking forward to seeing you there,
Joel

COMING SOON TO THE LAB
October 11, 2015: Working with Individuals
Beginning with October's Lab, we will be exploring Part IV of the Insight Improv book, looking at applications in a variety of settings, including individual therapy and group workshops, theater processes, international programs and activities for children.
The first chapter, "Working with Individuals," explains how concepts and activities from Insight Improv can be applied in individual psychotherapy.
In my private practice, I use Insight Improv to foster growth and change by combining four different modalities: talk, meditation, drama therapy, and coaching.
In October's Lab, I will demonstrate this approach by conducting sample one-to-one Insight Improv therapy sessions, with Q&A and discussion following each.
This will be a chance not only for individuals to experience a short sample session, but also for the group to observe this approach to therapy in action, and reflect on it afterward.
Please join us October 11, 3:30-7PM, Porter Sq, Cambridge, MA.
