ABSTRACT:

In Hungary, the first sociodrama training came into existence in 2022 in two parallel groups. The training aimed to integrate the sociodrama experience already present at MPE and the knowledge derived from the Performers international project.
Along with this, the sociodrama scene in Hungary has become more vibrant: the first generation of trainers and assistants began working with the method in various institutions, communities, formal and informal settings.

Our main areas:

  • We launched a sociodrama training in Budapest.
  • We created an accredited teacher training program in collaboration with Budapest University of Technology and Economics and Radnóti Theater.
  • In higher education, we have been regularly holding courses with sociodrama for changing the mindset of future intellectuals for over 8 years. Additionally, we introduced sociodrama as a research method in legal education and in a doctoral school at the Faculty of Social Sciences at ELTE University.
  • In collaboration with Lutheran church groups, we initiated the processing of topics such as LGBTQ identity and belonging to religious communities, as well as verbal abuse within the church community through sociodrama.
  • We created participatory theater performances with various civil groups addressing public issues.

During the workshops, we focus on specific areas according to the participants’ needs – in dramatic form. We welcome all new cultural perspectives and look forward to enriching debates!
