SLEAPING BEAUTY AND BEYOND;
EXPLORING A ONE-THOUSAND YEAR SILENCE
Abstract
In this paper, I will focus on my experience in the Fairy Tale Workshop, based on the leading theories of projection in dramatherapy. Providing a self-analysis of my projection into a particular character and setting, I will explain how I experienced the process through putting myself in my character’s shoes, which helped me dig into some repressed parts of my “self”. The process let me gain a deeper understanding of the concept of projection and touch a glimpse of its power in dramatherapy.
