Description
Trauma and Embodied Healing in Dramatherapy, Theatre and Performance by J. F. Jacques explores the connection between embodiment and somatic approaches to healing trauma from a dramatherapy, theatre and performance perspective. This edited volume brings together diverse voices from across these fields to examine how different approaches can offer unique perspectives on the body as a medium for exploring, expressing, and resolving chronic, acute, and complex trauma. The book highlights the intersection between dramatherapy and body-based approaches in theatre and performance, revealing new opportunities for understanding the creative capacity of the body. Suitable for dramatherapists and other creative arts therapists, as well as counsellors, psychotherapists, psychologists, and theatre scholars, this book offers valuable insights into the healing potential of embodied approaches.
