TICP GROUP MENTORSHIP.
6-Months: October 2024 - March 2025
Trauma-Informed Creative Practices is a method of engaging in creativity that cultivates resiliency by centering humanity. Facilitator, Molly W. Schenck, began working with trauma-informed approaches in 2007 while creating performances about sexual violence on college campuses. The Trauma-Informed Creative Practices method that she originally used in rehearsal became the foundation for her pedagogy while teaching at institutions of higher education for the past decade and the framework for the arts organization she founded in 2016, Grey Box Collective. Understanding stress, trauma, and burnout within individuals and in an organization is transformational work that will usher in the future of the performing arts through a lens of ethical productivity.
This immersive experience designed for educators, creatives, and leaders who are committed to fostering resilience, creativity, and ethical productivity in their professional and personal lives. This program is tailored for those who want to integrate a trauma-informed approach into their work, empowering them to navigate stress, trauma, and burnout within their organizations and creative practices.
The group mentorship will focus on building a strong foundational knowledge of the intersection of trauma and creativity as well as emphasizing how to apply this to classrooms, rehearsals, and organizations as a whole. The group meetings will address common themes and needs among the group and the 1:1 meetings are dedicated time to look at the specific needs of how participants are applying this work in their professional lives.
