Theatrical representation is one of the most complex forms of social interaction. Bringing together storytelling, physical action, role play and emotions, theatre encapsulates the core of human experience. Theatre therapy emerged at the beginning of the last century with the influential work of Jacob Levi Moreno, a Bucharest-born psychologist.

Currently, we have a wide range of theatrical and art healing approaches which aim to cultivate a harmonious and healthy society. Drama therapy professional associations and practices are growing in number on every continent, based on the proven potential of theatre and art interventions as therapeutic processes. Current practices would benefit from understanding the mechanism on why and how different elements of theatre practice and therapy are beneficial to humans. Cross-disciplinary research in social neuroscience, psychology and theater provide the tools to advance knowledge on the biological substrates for theater therapy and their healing mechanisms. In this spirit, the conference MET Neuroscience and Theater Therapy will bring together researchers that approach social behaviors in humans and animal models from diverse angles. The focus will be on neural, hormonal and psychological processes engaged by simple and complex social interactions and their possible implications on Theatre therapies.

The conference will host invited talks and communications selected from our open call.
