WHAT IS MYTHODRAMA? The purpose of playing is to hold the mirror up to nature.
William Shakespeare – Hamlet Mythodrama is a unique form of experiential
learning that allows participants to “act in” desired behaviours and attributes.
We employ a powerful combination of theatre practice, psychology, mythology and
organisational development. It provides inspiration and learning for lasting
change. So much is at stake and so much depends on the psychological
constitution of modern man. Does the individual know that s/he is the make
weight that tips the scales? Carl Jung The psychological aspect broadens
perspective and unleashes new possibilities in individuals and organisations. It
creates a context to find greater meaning in our work. The abuse of greatness is
when it disjoins Remorse from power William Shakespeare – Julius Caesar
Shakespeare’s genius provides timeless insights into the human nature of
leadership, at all levels. Each of his plays contains a great mythology on the
human condition. We can project our own issues on to these mythologies, to gain
deeper insight into the nature of the challenges we face in our own lives and
work. All this is done in a practical, relevant and down-to-earth manner and is
designed to engage even those who would normally feel out of their comfort zone
with a theatrical metaphor. Mythological symbols touch and exhilarate centres of
life beyond the reach of vocabularies of reason and coercion Joseph Campbell
Mythodrama extends the range of participants’ thinking, behaviour and action.
