Expressive Arts Therapy Workshop Report
Date - 20th July 2024
Topic - Workshop on Expressive Arts Therapy
Attendees : 1st Year BSc Economics students of SAMSOE - NMIMS University.
SAMSOE, NMIMS University had organized an invigorating workshop on Expressive Art Therapy for the 1st Year BSc Economics students. The workshop was conducted in two batches over a duration of three hours.
Expressive Arts Therapy is the intermodal use of different art forms like visual art, drama, music, poetry and movement. The therapeutic process builds on this arts based exploration by integrating it with verbal dialogue and processing.
The workshop was arranged to provide the students with the space and opportunity to experience art and movement based stress management techniques.
Dance and art based activities were conducted to promote emotional regulation, build cohesiveness in the group and enable them to understand the role of the mind-body connection in maintaining good mental health.
The students were also familiarized with relaxation techniques and effective breath work exercises, which they can use during high pressure situations.
The feedback from the session was overwhelmingly positive, many students mentioned that they danced in public after years, they were feeling at ease and were more comfortable and connected with their class mates after the session.
