The Role and Significance of Sound Design in Dramatherapy
Abstract
RESEARCH OBJECTIVE: The aim of the article is to explore and understand the significance of using sound desing in drama therapy.
THE RESEARCH PROBLEM AND METHODS: The main research question is: How is sound desing used in dramatherapy, and what role does it play? To answer this question, the study employs hermeneutical analysis of theoretical and cognitive materials, combined with observation methods to examine the practical applications of sound desing.
THE PROCESS OF ARGUMENTATION: The choice of this topic stems from my personal academic interests and the notable gap in existing literature. The collection of theoretical material and observations of sound desing applications in dramatherapy enriched the hermeneutical inquiry and enabled a novel contribution to the field of art therapy.
RESEARCH RESULTS: The analysis examines the creative and therapeutic roles of an original, innovative approach to sound desing in dramatherapy.
CONCLUSIONS, RECOMMENDATIONS AND APPLICABLE VALUE OF THE RESEARCH: The implementation of sound desing in dramatherapy, which enhances the creative process for individuals, is innovative, interdisciplinary, and therapeutic. An additional contribution is the introduction of the research category of interactive symbolism, in which symbols create interactive and relational spaces. This research paves the way for further interdisciplinary study and analysis.
