Warm Ups: For Your Back Pocket

by Rob Pramann, Ph.D., TEP © Copyright 1990, 2005 (used with the author’s permission)

The prospect of directing Psychodrama is anxiety provoking for the beginning and the experienced psychodramatist alike because one never knows the course the drama will take. This anxiety may be heightened when one is beginning to work in a new setting or with a new group. To the degree this anxiety provokes the director’s advanced preparation and planning it is an asset.

The ANZPA Community in Sydney is gearing up to welcome you to the 2010 ANZPA Conference next January. As part of warming up to the conference here is an update on what we have been doing.

Developing The Program
Together with our entire ANZPA community, we are creating a program where we can meet each other at the edge in a number of ways:

at the edge of the method – new frontiers:

at our personal edges: and
across the edge between different cultures.

Two Upcoming Events in the Central Region

by Gill Stacey
The Central region ANSPA have been meeting recently over dinner, to connect and warm-up our open day Magic Moments, planned for October. We meet as a small local group, however we are aware of the support of our psychodrama friends spread across the region and look forward to more of us being involved nearer the time. We are planning a whole day event of workshops, with support from some of our friends from Wellington and other areas, and look forward to a day of good food, fabulous company and magical dramas!

Central Workshop: Sociodrama and Social Repair in Communities

by Frances Burton-Brown

Ten of us gathered for this event, run by Diz Synnot, at The Training Space in Wellington on Monday 10 August. Diz opened by connecting social repair in communities with social atom repair in individuals. She told us a story about her work in Aboriginal communities where there are different forces operating in the generations, different connections with the world, and different world views. In this case, music was the focus of misunderstanding, with the older generation not understanding why the young people enjoyed harsh and ugly American music.
