ABSTRACT:

In this workshop we will go from a personal primal drawing to reconnect through collective creation in search of our tribe, a place to belong, a holding frame where we can be ourselves and be part of a community.

What can we learn from our ancient roots? What is there that we can take into our lives today? What is our personal responsibility versus our personal agency amongst the wider society? How can we steer ourselves to further the greater good and strengthen community?

We will be exploring the power of play to connect our personal communal histories that form groups and society in the hope that we can co-create a better world.

After this session participants will:

  • Have a better understanding through their experience of combining the creative arts with sociometry and sociodrama.
  • Explore how we can use personal agency for the greater collective
  • Remember the importance of play
