🎭 Introducing the relevant moments of our team in the Gestalt Theatre Training: Tomáš Andrášik and his work in Ukraine! We are proud to highlight the experience and expertise of one of our lead trainers, Tomáš Andrášik, who recently participated in the PodProekt initiative in Truskavec, Ukraine. From September 24-27, Tomáš led a workshop focused on “Improvisation and Drama as Group Support Interventions for Children and Adolescents Facing Difficult Life Situations.” 👩‍🏫👦 Supporting School Psychologists: During this educational event, Tomáš guided school psychologists from the Dnipropetrovsk region in using drama therapy and improvisation techniques to work with children and adolescents navigating challenging life experiences. His approach provided practical tools for creating safe, expressive spaces for young people to process trauma and difficult emotions. 🔍 Integrating International Expertise: Tomáš also drew upon insights from the international project SAFE Youth Workers, which supports youth workers dealing with trauma and challenging experiences. His work connects the power of theatre and therapeutic interventions to make a real difference in young lives. 👉 Learn more about the PodProekt initiative: podproekt.com.ua 👉 Discover more about SAFE Youth Workers: SAFE Youth Workers Project Join our Gestalt Theatre Training 2025-2026 and benefit from the depth of experience brought by professionals like Tomáš Andrášik, who are making an impact around the world. #DramaTherapy #YouthSupport #TraumaIntervention #safeyouthworkers #PodProekt #Improvisation #InternationalCollaboration #GestaltTheatreTraining (fb)

“Theatre is not just about words, it’s about the spaces that exist between two human beings.” – Peter Brook In Gestalt Theatre, the space between two actors on stage becomes a place where the deepest aspects of each character are revealed. Two people have the opportunity to immerse themselves in a genuine interaction, where the unspoken is just as important as what is expressed. The Gestalt Theatre therapist guides this process, pointing out what the actor may not have noticed. Using expressive techniques like “exaggerate what you’ve said with your whole being” or restrictive ones like “you can only say NO,” the therapist facilitates a journey of self-discovery. This approach allows actors to dive deeper into their characters and, through them, explore their own emotions and truths. But this is just one of the many techniques we will explore during the Gestalt Theatre training. Throughout the course, you will learn to integrate a variety of theatrical and Gestalt tools to work with both groups and individuals, facilitating processes of self-awareness and transformation. 🎭 Gestalt Theatre Facilitator Training 🌱 Expand your repertoire of techniques for emotional work and helping relationships 📅 Starts April 2025 – Czech Republic & Spain.
