| Description | In this chapter I present a rudimentary introduction to a Japanese horticultural practice known as shakkei. I do so as a white British dramatherapist and in ways which seek to respectfully honour both the integrity of the discipline itself and the significant influence this approach has had upon my own thinking and practice. Through my writing, I seek to further examine and understand this influence, building an integrative continuity in the shakkei spirit of 'borrowing'. I have endeavoured to reflect this appropriately and in ways concordant with equitable intercultural exchange. I originally learnt about shakkei through description, example and finally through direct participation whilst working in Kyushu, Japan during the summer of 1996. This experience left me with a curiously deep and visceral impression which has subsequently recurred in my mind and informed my ongoing theatre arts/therapeutic practice. In this chapter, I'm specifically looking to reflect on the approach in relation to some of the core practices and processes of dramatherapy. Most notably, as ways of working with emergent and peripheral phenomena which might otherwise be considered interruptive. To further contextualise this enquiry I supplement my own thoughts with examples drawn from my clinical practice. Most notably this examines a piece of work in a category B male prison in the UK, working with a group of five male offenders. Book Name: Dramatherapy |
