"For me, drama therapy is a creative path to development and finding playfulness in the world around us. I do not consider it necessary for us as adults to search for our inner child, but rather to discover playfulness and creativity even in an adult life full of responsibilities. Drama Therapy allows us to look at life and the relationships around us in an original way, explore them, and possibly change them so that we feel better and more joyful in this world."
