ABSTRACT:

Sociodrama in this presentation is defined as a combination of psychodrama and group analysis. Every meeting begins with free-floating discussion (ga), continues with personal psychodrama vignettes on stage(pd), without deepening the individual meaning of the vignets, but interpreted as the contribution to the matrix of the group (ga), ends with sharing (pd).

The presenter will talk about her experience in the application of this method in understanding art and society. And then specifically, more detail about the workshop “Sociodrama vignettes about the future“, which was held in Krk (Croatia) in 2023, within the climate camp. The workshop aimed to create a space to share intimate hopes and fears about the future in the context of climate change. Scheduled on the last day of camp, as we were saying goodbye, this workshop was the opportunity to get in touch with sadness and morning for things that we are going to part with (camp/ world as we know it).

In the second part of the presentation, there will be some action experience in a free-floating discussion for the participants.
