甚麼是芝麻模式?

What is Sesame Approach?
Sesame is a holistic approach to Dramatherapy. The Sesame approach incorporates the therapeutic use of Movement Observation developed by Rudolf Laban, the importance of play discovered by Peter Slade and the enactment of symbolic Myth based on Carl Jung’s concepts of the unconscious.
The Sesame Approach uses drama and movement to promote healing and change. It is a non-confrontational approach, based in the knowledge that difficulties can be revealed through metaphor. It is a symbolic and indirect approach placing emphasis on the creative and expressive use of the imagination within the safety and containment of the art forms.
