In experiencing and expressing themselves dramatically a greater sense of self worth and ability to rise to life's challenges are developed and participants have fun. Many aspects of being human which find no other outlet in our contemporary world can be expressed by ordinary people. Dreams, myths and wishes become concrete for a time and lend power and depth to everyday living. The method can move very fully into people's subjective world without judgement so that long frustrated desires or fears can be enacted and greater freedom experienced. Old agendas can be completed including grieving and trauma and celebration.
Imagination is developed.
The connections between individuals participating are deepened and strengthened through walking together into oneanother's reality. New and lasting friendships are often formed. Role-reversal enables a widening of people's individualistic experience. Practitioners of this method come from all walks of life and apply it in their own specialities. So organizational development consultants apply these action methods in their work with organizations in developing teams, in training managers on how to supervise and direct others or training employees in simulated situations.
