I have been kind of in a malaise of not knowing what to do with my life, being depressed, and feeling useless while trying to figure it all out. However, I do know I want art to be in my life, and I know it often helps me to get outside my shell of gloom. I first got into theatre to socialize more!
So tonight I was looking into helping out women at a domestic violence shelter, when an idea I've had before popped up again: why not raise money for them with theatre? And then I thought: why not provide theatre as therapy!
Well, maybe not as formal therapy. I am not a therapist. But it could be a way to go, art therapy as a career.. or a volunteering option.
Has anyone on this blog experienced art therapy? Anyone use drama as therapy? I'd like to get your takes on it. I think working together with other people to put on a show is a cathartic experience and it can help. Like Eve Enslers' Vagina Monologues.
