Getting to know Samantha Disador

Many people can be intimidated by the idea of drama therapy. You might find yourself interested but not quite sure how it would fit your needs thinking “I’m not an actor.” In the world of the theater, not everyone needs to be an actor to lead the growth of a production. There are lighting and set designers, choreographers, stage crew members, musicians. The goal is for all to come together using and developing their strengths to complete set goals. This is my philosophy as a therapist. Let’s explore and develop your strengths to further understand your goals as the main character of your story.

What should a new client know about working with you?

In drama therapy we frequently quote William Shakespeare’s “As You Like It” stating “All the world is a stage and all the men [and women] are merely players…” I grew up on the stage and identified tremendously with this metaphor. As a performer I expressed myself and gained perspective through different roles, developed spontaneity and humor through improvisation, honed a sense of commitment and time management through structure in scheduling and memorization, and made long lasting friendships within created communities. This translated to my outside performances in school, extracurriculars, and familial interactions. I felt powerful and resilient knowing that I was strong at something within the world of the play. If there is direct power in engaging in theater, I now ask, As drama therapy practitioner, what if we can bring some of these strength engaging tools and techniques to people who seek empowerment for their self worth and emotional wellbeing?
