Teatro e disabilità

The Arts Therapies have their own specificity and integrative ability to combine the main methodologies related to the non-verbal communication that passes through the body and emotions and have demonstrated their benefit on the well-being of the person, on the improvement of the Immune system and on the development of resilience. These are indispensable factors, in addition to the educational, rehabilitative and therapeutic technical-health methods, to integrate the whole range of processes and cognitive psychological and emotional functions of the subjects. The new terminologies express the prospect of a constructive and fruitful collaboration between the two areas in respect of the world of art and that of therapy, for a desirable common study of language and the creative process, of the peculiar tools of each art for develop a process of transformation in the subjects. Central is the common reflection on body language, which represents the main expressive channel and cannot ...

Territorially, one could think of creating territorial expressive archives, composed of: groups, teachers, schools, decentralized institutions, individual and collective experiences, state and private schools, universities, rehabilitation centers with internal expressive activities, interested social and health centers, study centers, ateliers, libraries, environmental centers engaged in the field of sensory pollution, interested people. This reflection intends exclusively to hope that the whole art, in all its expressive functions and potentials, will continue to live and develop in its complexity, globality and totality (remembering that in the field of disability, which needs objectives, strategies, techniques and ad hoc checks, experience shows us that specific training courses for figures who can operate as collaborators of the rehabilitation team cannot be excluded).

In this particular aspect, therefore, educating and rehabilitating (learning in pathological conditions) is a process with a common epistemological basis: - it means allowing the individual, with or without damage to the parametric communication functions, to continue building his own characteristic identity, to vary the parameters and build artistic meaning in our case, using your own body. We intend to develop a common reflection that contributes to placing these studies and research in the bed of the world of the social function of art. In our opinion, any research activity on the educational, rehabilitative and therapeutic function of art, culturally and institutionally characterized as a discipline and research independent of the artistic circuit, would risk inducing a consequent idea of ​​impoverishment of the art in the collective imagination " whole ", deprived of" internal "art (would the culture of the ephemeral remain? the aesthetic-intellectual aseptic ...

ART IN THERAPY Faced with evident phenomena of difficulty and discomfort in large social sectors concerning the area of ​​communication, expression and emotional management, we believe it is necessary to request an interdisciplinary confrontation path between all operators (first and foremost those in the vast area of ​​art therapy) engaged in the expressive, artistic, educational, rehabilitative, therapeutic area, in synthesis between all the professional areas that mainly use the artistic element in socio-sanitary and research contexts. In the development of specialist research, together with scientific and cultural growth and enrichment, the need emerges for a circuit of the experiences that gradually take place, making sure that the overall and interdisciplinary area benefits positively. In the specialist development and fragmentation of research, artistic expression is very often inserted in educational, rehabilitative and therapeutic areas. The experiences of applied research...

There is a very high frequency of dissatisfaction, unhappiness and anxiety, caused to a multitude of people only by presence of the neighbor or colleague or family member, in short of social partner. This accumulation of dissatisfaction clogs up relationships, coarcts them and makes them impossible. The dimension of human relational pollution must be at this point really huge. It is better to explore it well. Each one, even in its microcosm. If it is true that the human person has difficulty living alone and has an extreme need for companionship, for socializing, for help, for solidarity, it also seems equally true that every person does he drinks the poison with the help of others. And more yes it is fasting of companionship the more one becomes sensitive to poison of relational pollution. It is a painful experience many people . The fear itself of being polluted by factors that for now I qualify as suffocating contrasts the need for love, friendship and fraternity and continually swi...
