Conflict Resolution through Drama

We all deal with conflict every day. On a personal, community or global scale, conflict exists all around us.

It can arise out of miscommunication, differing opinions, misunderstanding, differing beliefs, pride, prejudice and many, many other situations.

Drama is an ideal tool for the exploration of conflict. With conflict at its heart, drama offers us the opportunity to analyse the behaviour that leads to conflict and to experiment with different approaches to conflict management and resolution. Conflict doesn’t always have to be destructive; it can be a progressive force. Using drama techniques we can develop positive, assertive responses to conflict situations.
