 Drama - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Drama therapy is often considered an effective treatment for people who have had severe emotional and psychological problems, although it is important to note that the evidence to support therapeutic efficacy of Drama therapy is anecdotal rather than scientific.
Drama is also often combined with music and dance, such as in opera which is sung throughout, musicals which include spoken dialog and songs, or plays that have musical accompaniment, such as the Japanese Noh drama.
This is what makes drama a useful way of teaching, learning, and growing as a person.

 NarrativeDance.html
The idea of a ‘narrative dance’ emerged from my conceptualisation of Narrative Therapy as akin to a dance, with the therapist applying some core concepts to facilitate movement across some central dimensions.
Narrative therapy is not about creating a history; rather, it is predicated on the notion that a history already exists, but has not been noticed and given credence.
The expressed need was for a clear therapy map, one that was readily accessible to the therapist in the therapy room.
