Performance involves preparation through engagement on many levels, intrapersonal and interpersonal. It includes being
immersed in the creative process, feedback on the emerging creation and its integration. While there is an ongoing reflective
dialogue between the process and the product, it also involves active decision making and community building.
As therapists we often ask how we can sustain connection to our creative selves while in the midst of working in a field of
suffering. We also wonder how we can engage our clients in new perspectives that are based in creativity and the role of
community in group process and healing. Performance as Therapy is a developed framework seeking to expand the practice of
creative arts therapies and also that of counseling as it involves many of the techniques found in humanism, group process and
positive psychology while bridging the gap between verbal and non-verbal processes. It asks the question “What is the role of
self in creativity and how this relationship is fundamental to therapeutic performance, multicultural expression and human
existence?”
This workshop will explore the 4 concepts of creative process and art making, developed by the workshop presenters.
Participants will be guided through the 4 concepts as they explore the journey from finding the inner impulse to create all the
way to community performance.
