“…One can conduct drama therapy as process-oriented, which includes interventions conducted within the group, or as presentation-oriented, with the intention of a formal performance (Dickinson & Bailey, 2021). This approach includes possibilities for growth and further emotional development, also for people living with dementia (Knocker, 2001;Jaaniste, 2023).…”

“…Exploring life stories to derive meaning and self-worth from them is essential for achieving ego integrity among older adults (Erikson, 1982), even when they live with dementia (Harel, 2016;Leshem & Harel, 2023). The transition between creating and operating the puppets involved process-oriented and presentation-oriented drama therapy, renowned for contributing to the growth and emotional development of people with dementia (Dickinson & Bailey, 2021).…”

This case study examines a therapeutic puppetry project conducted by a drama therapist in a dementia unit at a daycare center in Israel. Three people with dementia and three drama-therapy students participated. The intervention included three genres of puppetry. A qualitative case study was conducted following the project. The students’ and the therapist’s records and the photos of the puppetry were analyzed according to the case study design. Four themes were generated: (1) Puppetry encourages the flow of creativity; (2) puppetry encourages self-expression and authenticity; (3) puppetry supports memory and the sequence of the therapeutic process; (4) puppetry leads to a transformation of the inner experience. The findings point to the contribution of the project for people with dementia.

“…Embodiment is chronologically first, as children initially explore life through movement and senses; Projection represents seeking transitional objects as an extension of the self; Role is a growth in the complexity of expressed narratives and life rehearsals through play (Jennings, 2002;Powell, 2014). It is common practice to match these stages with creative activities, such as Embodiment to movement, Projection to puppets and Role to role-play (Dickinson and Bailey, 2021).…”

This paper implements an Autoethnographic lens to explore a newly qualified Dramatherapists relationship to her chronic pain and body, the society is exits within, the process of overcoming internalised stigma and the journey taken through training. An analysis of how society has impacted the authors relationship of her body that is affected by chronic pain will take place, as well as unpacking her experiences of having chronic pain and endometriosis. Chronic pain has been a constant within the authors adult life. This pain and societies attitudes toward disability informed a belief that becoming a Dramatherapist was not an achievable ambition. The author will delineate the steps taken, challenges overcome and drastic shifts in thinking that took place before training, during and once qualified. Through this Autoethnographic exploration of the authors lived experiences, she discovered the essential pillars of turning surviving into thriving were community, connection, education and self-advocacy.
