Fireside Chat with Chaiti Ghosal

A freewheeling chat with a well known Bengali artist where she laid bare her experiences on stage and screen. She also spoke about entertainment being food for mental health. Chaiti Ghoshal gave her views on the evolving concept of ‘theatre therapy.’

Drama or theatre therapy is the intentional use of drama and /or theatre processes to achieve therapeutic goals. Drama therapy is an embodied practice that is active and experiential. This approach can provide the context for participants to tell their stories, set goals and solve problems, express feelings, or achieve catharsis.
