Sociodrama comes to the city. We propose a meeting open to the community.
Improvised dramatic scenes about a subject allow revealing the structures of a group,
their actions, their probl em s and their solutions. Sociodrama allows exploring the exact
image of social ills in a group and finding the solutions to the probl em s that affect their life.

works in business context, specifically in People Manag em ent. She has the Sociodrama
Director qualification from the Portuguese Society of Psychodrama. She is interested in
developing Communitarian Intervention projects.

Consultant and Executive Coach,and in private clinic context, as Group Psychotherapist.

Theatre and Cin em a) and is a Clinical Psychologist and Psychotherapist (Individual and

competences in youngsters, development of communication within the families).

What’s the project Theatre in the City?
The project Theatre in the City has as its main goal to give Torres Vedras’ city educational
microstructures to help fighting the regional asymmetries, providing educational and cultural
enjoyment spaces for the citizens, in the context of theatre, of performative arts, and
within a range of artistic expressions wider than the one the dramatic expression concept
itself allows em bracing.
In this project there’s an intention to discuss, through the several artistic and performative
variants that the dramatic expression allows, subjects that include the concepts of city and
community, as well as the relationships established between both, in a certain territory.
One of the richest methodologies to work the dynamics between the I, the other, the group
and, finally, the community, is the sociodrama. This is the reason behind doing 6 workshops
facilitated by credentialed sociodramatists.
Beside the more direct and obvious benefits inherent to the attending of training sessions
(in this case under the format of workshops focused on share, experiment, know-how), we
believe that through a continuous and persistent action this project will also contribute to
win and fidelize theatre-going public.
