Choose Your Own Path: Traversing the Multitudes of Drama Therapy

Drama therapists have vastly different professional experiences from country to region to province to state to city to town to neighborhood. The theme this year centers on the breadth of our field and the many paths available in defining our roles as drama therapists and humans. We aim to traverse the multitudes of drama therapy by:

• Exploring the numerous career paths a drama therapist can choose and the systems in which we work

• Inspecting ways in which drama therapy can continue to reinvent itself to better serve the community and create a more equitable field

• Investigating how the avenue of drama therapy promotes wellness and resiliency within the community

• Practicing cultural competency in order to guide our work, and recognize the diverse experiences of those we serve
