"Tederapia"- Radio and Art as Therapy

"Tederapia"-Radio and art as therapy is a new model that combines drama therapy and elements from the world of broadcasting. The power that comes from speaking into a microphone and listening to our own voice through headphones, alongside our choices of music, brings together flexibility and imagination which is the essence of playfulness.

In this lecture I will give the participants a report from my research of this new and exciting model, and how the participants were given the opportunity of hearing themselves in a different way, and meeting others in a more intimate and even uncomfortable way, as we DvT'ers love to make them feel.

The lecture will contain a small section in which the participants can practice and feel the power of using music as a creative way of playing with the issues and materials emerging from their play.
