Creating Virtual Scenes Through Tele'Drama:

Directing psychodrama and other action methods has become an important part of the work of many professionals in the field. Even with the re-opening of physical offices, many continue also working online, realizing the many opportunities for reaching a larger pool of clients and trainees, and being free of restrictions imposed by travel, time, physical conditions and additional financial obligations.

Perhaps sometimes we ask ourselves how online psychodrama can become more 'real'; how to include more action, and not to feel stuck in the ZoomRoom rectangles; and how to keep the attention of the participants in order for them to be more present and engaged.

This 3-hour workshop will demonstrate various ways in which the director may create a realistic virtual stage, keeping everyone present, engaged and safe. Staging virtual scenes on the screen; utilizing participant’s own space and various motion ambiances; creating scene settings using virtual props; and building up immersive scenes to connect and collaborate in a cohesive virtual meeting space, will be introduced and explored in action.

After attending this workshop participants will be able to:
  1. Identify five (5) ways of creating virtual scenes.
  2. Demonstrate various ways in which the director may utilize a realistic virtual stage, keeping everyone present, engaged and safe.


NOTE: This offering is an official training session being provided by an ABE certified TEP, and provides 3 hours of distance learning training hours. The trainee’s primary trainer must approve this training for it to be accepted for distance learning credit. The total number for distance learning training hours may not exceed 150 hours.
