甚麼是戲劇及形體動作治療（芝麻模式）?

由戲劇治療師帶領組員建立一個安全的環境，在信任與接納的氣氛下，以戲劇形式，透過角色扮演、形體動作、聲音及對話，讓參與者能自然情感流露，表達內在需要及釋放壓抑的情緒如恐懼、憂慮及挫折感等，帶來治療及成長果效。

戲劇及形體動作治療（芝麻模式Sesame Approach）以「芝麻開門」的象徵符號，喻意打開心靈健康之門，開啓內在生命寶庫。此模式由容格(Carl Jung)分析心理學、拉邦(Rudolf Laban) 舞蹈理論、史萊德 (Peter Slade) 兒童戲劇及神話學之象徵符號發展出來。此治療模式著重以象徵及比喻的手法，引發創意與想像，透過説故事、畫圖畫、身體隨著音樂舞動，聲音創意表達，接觸自我內在潛意識。學員毋須直接分享個人困惑，可選擇以藝術形式表達自我，較容易釋去恐懼，啟發潛能，轉危為機，建立更整全的人生。

每節均設熱身、主要活動及總結，形式包括說故事、聽音樂、角色扮演、身體舞動、聲音／眼神／身體接觸及交流分享等。

What is Drama and Movement Therapy (Sesame Approach)?

Using drama and movement in a safe environment enable people to find ways of expressing their needs, fears, anxieties and frustrations spontaneously and naturally. 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.

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.

Each session is structured through a warm-up, main event and grounding. A session may be story- or movement-based. The Sesame “toolkit” includes drama, myths, voice, relaxation, movement-with-touch, instruments, music and sound – and feedback.
