Content:

In this module, students further develop previously learned drama practice and drama therapy improvisation exercises by teaching them—both theoretically and practically—to second-semester students. They design, implement, and evaluate structured exercise sequences and learn to integrate feedback into their facilitation practice. Students explore selected drama therapy methods, document them systematically, and conduct literature research on their origins and mechanisms. In practice supervision, they present and reflect on their own challenging cases and deepen their self-evaluation using personality models. They also document and present psychosocial case work in written and oral formats while contributing to peer feedback. Additionally, students collaboratively plan, organize, and evaluate an interdisciplinary, international two-day student symposium.

Content Tutorial II (TuTg):

• Learning improvisation exercises with second-semester students in both theoretical and practical forms
• Working in a team, identifying one’s own strengths and weaknesses, and describing them appropriately using a personality model
• Developing an implementation plan including objectives, content, procedures, and artistic feedback elements that enable comprehensive reflection
• Deriving clear, traceable work steps (e.g., SWOT analysis) from participants’ feedback in order to apply them in the next tutorial session

Content Tutorial V (TuTe):

• Become theoretically familiar with at least four established drama therapy methods
• Explore at least three of these methods in exemplary project formats and document them systematically
• Guide systematic literature research on the origins of the methods and produce written summaries
• Analyze and develop an understanding of their mechanisms of action in psychosocial fields

Content Case Supervision:

• Presentation and reflection on one’s own conflict-ridden drama therapy work
• Development of empathy and deeper self-evaluation using learned personality models
• Understanding one’s own differentiated psychosocial drama therapy case studies
• Active participation in thinking along and advising on peers’ drama therapy case presentations
• Introduction to and experience of teamwork and collaborative practice

Content Student Symposium:

• Define, plan, organize, implement, promote, and evaluate a two-day student conference, including digital sessions where applicable, with students from different semesters and study programs
• Maintain international networking via digital media with partner universities, invite participants, and coordinate both on-site and hybrid event organization
• Develop intermedial approaches and contribute them to current academic discourse
• Digitally document the event and publish it in the newsletters of the participating universities
