INTERNATIONAL PUPPET THERAPY TRAINING BARCELONA SUMMER 2023
By Andrea Markovits & Polo Fernández
PRESENTATION
For the first time, we meet in person with our colleague Matthew Bernier, after three years of collaborative teaching in the Puppet Therapy Online Diploma. Matthew will accompany us in this intensive week of creation and research, joining our experiences and views on the contemporary field of Therapeutic Animated Forms.
The International Puppet Therapy Training is a 5-day training in the center of Barcelona, which aims to bring together former diploma students and other professionals interested in the therapeutic power of puppets, art therapy, mental health and animated forms.
In response to international scenarios of emergencies and learned hopelessness, this training presents and reviews Puppet Therapy Chile’s model of research and intervention with adults in contexts of memory, trauma informed and transgenerational damage (Post Memory).
The conscious look at the use of animated forms is trained from the model of Expressive Therapies (ETC) for the deep understanding of the main areas of the brain involved in the creative work with materialities and puppets in movement.
This training also trains in animation, in the silent language (without words) of animated forms (puppets, objects, and materials), and in the cognitive functions of these to integrate elements of art therapy, the dramatic and plastic function of puppet theater as resources to guide group processes from the creation and exploration centered on the person and their potential for repair at the individual and group level.
It is based on the importance of the therapist’s role in the group, in listening and observing metaphors and group emergent as creative material for the elaboration of new narratives from the process of creation and animation.
The © Model of Therapeutic Animated Forms: Memory & Trauma presents a guideline with strategies that allow to accompany individual and collective traumas in the creation of intimate and safe processes from the informed trauma, where the personal becomes collective, achieving to physicalize in matter and figure complex experiences that allow to find metaphors to approach, resignify, and understand traumatic experiences.
TO WHOM IT IS AIMED
This training is aimed at therapists, art therapists, psychologists, social workers, drama therapists, puppeteers, play therapists, artists, and other professionals involved in therapeutic work at the individual or group level, linked to the world of therapy and the arts for social change.
