Exploring Therapeutic Theatre

The power of theatre and performance

'We know the power of theatre and performance.

To express. To reflect. To transform.

Theatre can be research. Theatre is creation. Theatre is engagement.

Theatre speaks in the language of metaphor but conveys an inner truth.' - British Association of Dramatherapists

The Hobo's Artistic Director Jeffrey Bryant Jones is a retired newspaper editor with over 35 years' experience in the industry. He has been acting since he was a teenager and teaching drama in Central Victoria for the past eight years. Jeff is currently studying drama therapy as part of a Master's Degree at Melbourne University. 

He believes the degree will help him integrate his love of acting, teaching, storytelling and writing in the final chapter of his life. His goal is to provide opportunities for people from marginalised communities to explore, create and perform their stories through Therapeutic Theatre. 

Therapeutic Theatre provides a unique space for storytelling, healing, and personal empowerment. It's a safe space that allows people to explore their emotions, experiences, and personal narratives to discover new awareness, build confidence and grow self-esteem.
