    Abstract

    “The field of drama therapy has yet to fully engage with the emerging discipline of climate-informed therapy. Clients are increasingly seeking support for climate-related distress, yet many therapists report a lack of training and confidence in addressing these issues. This article explores how drama therapy can respond to the climate emergency through a collaborative peer supervision process involving eight Concordia University alumni. Using Image Theatre and Metabolizing Minutes, participants processed difficult climate feelings of anger, resentment, grief and loss. Aesthetic distance, dramatic projection and embodiment helped drama therapists resist the tendency to avoid dire climate realities and reignite a sense of agency that they could make a difference.

Este ensayo fotográfico destaca cómo utilizamos la dramaterapia para comprender nuestras preocupaciones colectivas, emociones intensas y nuestras luchas por encontrar esperanza en la emergencia ecológica que se desarrolla.
