Abstract | When Sue Jennings first asked me to co-edit the Routledge International Handbook of Dramatherapy in 2015, she had a vision. A vision of three books on drama, play and stories. I remember that Sue described these three ‘art forms’ as being absolutely central to anyone involved in working creatively, therapeutically or in a therapy context within the creative and expressive arts. Whether work was in a community context, education, social justice, arts in health, arts therapies or any other diverse contexts drama, play and story were being used in, they were essential ingredients. They were the building blocks, the flour, eggs and sugar which created the cake. Each art form, and I include play and storytelling here as art forms, provided a safe boundary in which work could occur. |
