I wanted a fresh approach. My public sociodrama sessions of the last three years tended to attract low numbers Flicking through The Impromptu Man I came across the cartoon by John Wilcock where Moreno is directing Woody Allen on stage. I was enamoured, a fizziness in my body at the thought of an audience exposed to the method and being enthralled by their experience. That was when the seed was planted. I could run such a session. I could attract more participants. I too could have an audience enthralled by their experience of the method. |

Moreno proposed the psychodrama stage as the first instrument of psychodrama. He designed it with four levels, the audience, the warm up step, the action space and the balcony, which mirror the stages of a protagonist’s warming up process. Providing illustrations focused on the use of the warm up level or step and the balcony in parenting groups for women, Cushla Clark proposes that a psychodramatist who maintains consciousness of the structure of the Morenian stage, including improvising the different levels when physical constraints are present, is able to enhance a protagonist’s warm up to spontaneity and produce a full and satisfying dramatic enactment. This article is drawn from Cushla’s AANZPA thesis, Liberation via The Stage. |
