University of Theatre and Cinema “IL Caragiale”, RomaniaTitle: Case study: Acting in a film as a form of rehabilitation therapy after a psychological trauma
Abstract
Art therapy is used in multiple ways in rehabilitation and it can work in perceptual, sensory-motor, emotional,
cognitive, social and spiritual aspects of the life of an individual and his personality. Each of these requires its own
rehabilitation settings and the art therapist works with a variety of issues. This presentation is focused on the personal
experience of writing and directing a short musical film series in which actors were children coming from disadvantaged
backgrounds. The acting, dancing and singing were employed as therapy for social, emotional and behavioral issues. By
the end of the project the children have learned how to use their new artistic skills in order to externalize their feelings
and felt relieved.
