NARRATIVE MEDICINE
The Art of Recounting Trauma
Instructor: Shyamala Dakshinamurti
Dates: Monday September 27th
Time: 2:00PM – 5:00PM
Participants: 12
Narrative Medicine uses storytelling to frame medical stories, for patients and for caregivers. This workshop explores the use of narrative as a bridge between lived/ traumatic raw experience and recalled/ rationalized/ tamed experience – perhaps as important to theatre as it is in medicine – using cases from life and from the literature.
