WHAT IS THE THEME of #NADTA2024?

The Art of Mending - A Dramatic Approach to Restoration & Transformation

Against the backdrop of a post-covid world grappling with grief, trauma and many injustices, this conference seeks to illuminate the profound impact of drama therapists and the work we are leading to make space for dialogue, repair, and transformative change. 

As drama therapists, we know that change needs time. We aim to explore and experience the transformative and restorative power of process and play by:

  • Exploring how drama therapists are engaging their own transformation in practice
  • Sharing ways in which the field of drama therapy has experienced change over time with diverse populations and clinical settings.
  • Investigating how the avenue of drama therapy promotes restoration in our communities.
  • Practicing cultural humility in order to guide our transformative work, and recognize the diverse experiences of those we serve.
  • Locating where change is occurring within drama therapy processes, techniques and theoretical approaches
