The workshop
The day workshop “Creating and Living Stories for Hope and Change” to be held June 4 at the Windermere Manor, London, is designed to be active, experiential and educational. This workshop will be well suited for educators, researchers, healthcare professionals, therapists, social workers, community workers and those with an interest in the creative arts in practice for the betterment of individuals and communities.
Participants take part in a developmental group process that uses movement, drama methods, writing/narrative and group performance to access and express personal stories and human experiences. Movement, drama, writing and performance, as well as listening actively and witnessing stories in action, can help lead to change by raising awareness, fostering empathy and increasing human understanding. In addition to the unique opportunity to participate in a rich and creative process which encourages self expression, participants will learn how to foster and encourage others to express stories in a group, how to use arts methods in a variety of ways to help others communicate experience and how to facilitate listening and create important opportunities for witness. Illustrative and topical examples of the creative arts applied in interdisciplinary practice for community change will be discussed drawing from the groundbreaking books “Creative Arts in Interdisciplinary Practice, Inquiries for Hope and Change, and “Creative Arts in Research for Community and Cultural Change”, Editor Cheryl McLean, Associate Editor, Dr. Robert Kelly, Detselig Temeron Press."
The workshop will be held in a setting ideal for an arts gathering, the rustic and elegant Windermere Manor located near the University of Western Ontario, London, Ontario, Canada. Fully appointed executive suites are currently available for overnight stays. We have been informed that there are rooms currently available. We suggest you book these early.
