As human beings, we all play many different roles, whether we’re aware of them or not. These roles have a lot to tell us — if we learn to listen. In this training, participants will explore using role-based creative interventions in their work with clients. The facilitator will offer a brief overview of role theory before leading participants through hands-on practice involving roles, archetypes, masks, music, and more. The workshop will include opportunities for self-reflection as well as engagement fictional case studies.

Learning objectives

1. Participants will be able to define role in the context of role theory.
2. Participants will be able to identify potential roles and archetypes in clients via observation of their speech and self-report.
3. Participants will feel confident using creative/expressive interventions (role profiles, archetype cards, masks, and playlists) in their work with clients.

Required Materials

• All art materials will be provided at the studio!
• Suggested:
  • Phone, iPod, or another way to play music
  • Headphones
  • Mirror (substitution: phone or device that has a “selfie” mode to reflect your image back!)
