Abstract or Description

This chapter introduces to the reader the role of a group facilitator in using creative techniques adapted from Dance Movement Therapy and Playback Theatre with female prisoners in South-East Asia. The author takes on a reflective stance starting with her personal stories and widening the conversation of working with women before their release from prison. The chapter discusses the following question in practice- how does the group facilitator support women to feel safe, to attune to their body and to express themselves in a time limited therapeutic group? Descriptions of group activities, facilitator’s observations and reflections are included in the chapter to expound on the themes of loss, belonging and hope arise from this creative project.
