Exploring Therapeutic Theatre

The power of theatre and performance

'We know the power of theatre and performance.

To express. To reflect. To transform.

Theatre can be research. Theatre is creation. Theatre is engagement.

Theatre speaks in the language of metaphor but conveys an inner truth.' - British Association of Dramatherapists

The Hobo's Artistic Director Jeffrey Bryant Jones is currently exploring the world of drama therapy having started a Master's Degree at Melbourne University. 

Jeff plans to run a 12-week Therapeutic Theatre program for four (4) participants (aged 18+) in Maldon, Victoria from February-April, 2025.

Therapeutic theatre provides a unique space for storytelling, healing, and personal empowerment. It provides a safe space for individuals to explore their emotions, experiences, and personal narratives to uncover new awareness.

Participants will play with drama games, improvisations, music and movement, masks, artwork, story making and roleplay methods to create a story. This story is enacted, rehearsed and performed for an audience at the end of the 12-week course.

Therapeutic theatre is fun and can be very rewarding. And it belongs to everyone - no acting experience is necessary.  The fee is $300 per person for the 12-week course.
