British Psychodrama Association Conference 2026 · The Old Swan Hotel, Harrogate · Co-facilitated with Katie Edkins
An experiential conference workshop inviting participants into the playful, collaborative
world of long-form improvisation as a creative tool for re-sourcing the self —
exploring how group dynamics, role patterns and relational tensions can be surfaced
and transformed through symbolic play, with no performance experience needed.

Ensemble Alchemy: Using Long-Form Improv to Transform Group Shadows
British Association of Dramatherapists Annual Conference · Glasgow
An experiential workshop exploring how long-form improvisation can make hidden group
dynamics visible — the unspoken tensions, power imbalances and habitual roles that
groups often carry beneath the surface. Drawing on the collaborative principles of
long-form improv, including UCB traditions, participants used “Yes, and…”,
ensemble thinking and spontaneous scene-making to explore the group as a living system
— encountering roles such as leader, outsider, rescuer or disruptor through play,
and meeting the group shadow with curiosity rather than intellectual analysis.

Myth & Masculinity: Exploring Toxic Masculinity in Adolescence Through Greek Myth and Dramatherapy
Using Greek mythology and dramatherapy, this CPD workshop explored the roots and
expressions of toxic masculinity in adolescent boys — examining how violent
fantasies, emotional disconnection and grandiose behaviours can reflect deeper
experiences of shame, vulnerability and identity loss. Grounded in James Gilligan’s
theory that violence stems from unmet needs for love and respect, participants left
with creative, trauma-informed tools to support boys and young men in their development.
