Distinguishes itself from closely allied disciplines of
psychodrama and art, music and dance therapy by moving
between all these art modalities. Images and metaphors are made
tangible through the use of dance, drama, music, visual arts and
poetry. Each discipline is believed to offer unique perspectives
and avenues of communication, helping to open up possibilities
towards healing. The art created is at the centre of the process
with its ability to expand the imagination, enliven the senses, tell
our life stories and illuminate our inner world. The frame of the
art work from the start and end of a dance to the edges of a
painting helps to hold human experiences. The therapeutic
relationship is central to the process and involves a client centred approach that encourages participants to find guidance from within.
