“I am currently a graduate student in Theatre and Drama Therapy at Kansas State University. I spent my first year learning about play and the way it shapes the brain. I was also trained in creative drama techniques, Playback Theatre, sociodrama, and conflict resolution. I work with a number of populations in Kansas including adults with physical and learning disabilities, university students, and professionals in the community who want to explore the arts in a non-threatening environment. I am writing to tell you about my upcoming workshop in Kuwait. The first workshop I held over Christmas was called “Play Your Way to Better Communication: Building Emotional Intelligence through Games and Movement.” I spent the day with ten participants, disconnected from the stresses of every day life, simply engaging in play. This time, I’m taking it a step further.
On the first day of my creative drama class, I defined play as the ability to let one’s guards down, to forget about problems that exist outside the game and to be present in the moment. Now I define play as an essential part of our life. Food nourishes our body, exercises strengthens it, and play challenges our mind and shapes our relationships. I really hope that you’re willing to come out and play for three days! The workshop starts at 5:30 PM and ends at 8:30 PM. For registration info or questions about the cost of the workshop, please email me and I’d be happy to answer your questions. I’ve also included a flyer of the event but please note that seats are limited.
