Autumn - warm days and cool nights. Easter is arriving (or Pesach for some of us). We've had time to celebrate this week our first term of training for 2010. New learning, new perspectives and thoughts, a deepening of experience in a safe place with like minded friends, connection with self and others. Congratulations to the Level 3 Group for their work as a team at Windana, in St Kilda. In another month they will have been conducting groups in pairs, on a fortnightly basis at Windana for one year. These are things to celebrate. We hope you will enjoy the break from the formal ongoing training. There are many things to do in our community during the break, below are some of the events going on. Come and meet other trainees, practitioners, trainers and members of our Society.
The Theatre of Spontaneity The Moreno Psychodrama Society and PIM are hosting the second Theatre of Spontaneity at 155 Langridge Street tomorrow night, Sunday 28th of March from 6.30 - 8.30 p.m. Nikki Alderman is the Director. She invites you to bring musical instruments, (we have some if you don't and you don't need any experience - humans are naturally noise making), or bring yours or others poetry to share.
The Theatre has a break in April, and then recommences with Sue Daniel as Director on Sunday 30th of May. The fee is $20.00 and $15.00 for Members of MPS.
Elective Workshops
Lethe Gaskin is conducting the first elective for PIM on two Friday afternoons, 30 April and 7 May with her sister, Katrina. Whilst one can be attended we think you'll have a very rich experience over two sessions. Come and enrich your experience of the Cultural Atom and I am sure you will find out why Moreno valued this concept so highly. Our second elective is Nikki Alderman's weekend June 26 & 27. Marie Watt is now doing a weekend workshop for our third elective on September 4 & 5, in place of the advertised four Monday nights. Jil Toovey is conducting the third elective on Friday afternoons, 24 September and 1 October, while Sue Daniel is the Director of our fourth elective workshop, a training weekend on October 2 & 3.
Ongoing Groups
The Practitioner's Group meets the last Friday of every month. Being with like minded colleagues and friends strengthens us and assists in our role development and practice as practitioners of the psychodrama method.
Yesterday we fare-welled Kath Kelly on another journey, this time up north, with Jo. Dora Oliver has some new work complimenting her private practice, working at Relationships Australia for two days per week.
Sue Daniel runs an ongoing group for parents and carers of Adolescents. This group is open. While starting in February, the members decided to make it an open group for other parents to join throughout the year so if you know of anyone who needs a group this is it. Bringing up children is challenging, a supportive community and new viewpoints can assist parents to develop greater confidence and new roles. Our next meeting is Friday 14 May from 9.30 a.m to 12.30 p.m.
Other Events
The Comedy Festival is on from 24 March - 18 April. Dimitri Pronin, first year trainee at PIM is a guest star in Profane Prima Donnas' D I Y Divas, at Czech House, 497 Queensberry Street, North Melbourne Wednesday Friday and Saturday, 24, 26, 27 & 31 March, 2-3, 7, 9-10, 16-7 April. Dimitri, is the founder and leader of the Melbourne Chekov Drama Studio and he has a wonderful voice. If you like opera and comedy this event is for you. I loved it.
