Introductory Training

'i learned to allow my movement to guide me and to trust that it can be spontaneous, opening up so much wisdom that lay within me.  I lost, quite quickly, the critic or the hypervigilance that can follow me into situations like this.  A gained sense of freedom within the group that was nurtured by the trust and love of the work exuded by the facilitators.  I found my voice, and working within a group to create something with narrative through the medium of the body was fundamental to the experience.'
Participant on s Sesame Introductory Course.

'I arrived at the Sesame voice session as a professional. I became aware of a fragile voice which I tried to push away. Suddenly I found myself in a sound-proof space where I could only hear my own voice. I was descending into myself where my voice had been locked away. I found myself kneeling to honour this fragile but precious voice. I came away feeling that I had made a new acquaintance with myself and I wanted to discover more.'
Participant on a Sesame Introductiory Course.

SPRING INTRODUCTORY COURSE - 22, 23, 24 May 2013

WINTER INTRODUCTORY COURSE - 13, 14, 15 November 2013

Three day introductions to Drama and Movement Therapy

Each course has a practical and experiential emphasis exploring how drama, movement, creative voice and sound, movement with touch and story enactment can be used as therapeutic resources.  The training is an intensive professional course, and is not personal therapy.  It offers an opportunity to experience components of the Sesame Approach, and then explore their practical application.  The emphasis is on learning through personal experience rather than prescribed teaching of set models.
