Connections

KCC FOUNDATION

KCC is a learning organisation. Within our learning programmes attention is centred on creating contexts where individuals and groups can work, live and develop to their full potential in their chosen professions and relationships. In the pursuit of this we explore with people, using systemic/social-constructionist approaches, how they can communicate and contribute, understand their position of influence in ways which enhance their own abilities to make good judgements in the organisation within which they work. Location: London UK

An academic and practice based institute, KCC has post qualifying and advanced training pathways in Management and Psychotherapy.  The MSc in Leadership and Organisational Studies and the MSc/ Postgraduate Diploma in Systemic Psychotherapy are validated by the University of Luton and the MA/ Postgraduate Diploma in Systemic Practice validated by the University of Northumbria at Newcastle.

KCC’s programmes are run in the UK, Sweden, Denmark, Finland and Colombia in South America. .

IDEA 2010

Fifteen years ago, IDEA (the International Association of Drama/Theatre and Education) launched its founding world congress in Porto, Portugal. Since then, thousands of drama and theatre education teachers, grassroots activists, scholars and artists from across the world have met at six world congresses to exchange and celebrate workshop techniques, case studies, pedagogical theories, new curricula and performances, united by a deep respect for difference and a shared vision: to develop our creative, empathetic and analytical intelligences through drama/theatre and education to nurture a just and peaceful world.

The International Class: Reports from the Field

This is the blog of alumni of The International Class, a program of the Institute I launched in 2003. It’s a cross-disciplinary, cross-cultural course of study in social therapeutics, performance methodology that combines distance learning with residencies in New York City to work and play with Institute faculty and cultural and educational innovators.

All Stars Project

The All Stars Project, Inc. (ASP) is an amazing organization. Out of its performing arts complex on 42 St, in the heart of New York’s commercial theater district, the ASP runs performance-based development programs for young people, the majority from poor and working class communities, and provides training and organizational support to those wishing to start All Stars programs in their communities, both in the US and internationally. In the New York City metropolitan area, the All Stars programs annually involve thousands of young people, ages 5 – 25, in different activities that invite them to perform their lives, both on and off stage. The All Stars staff is aided by hundreds of adult volunteers – both trained professionals and “ordinary” people from all walks of life. Some volunteers work directly with the programs and others raise the funds that make the programs possible. The All Stars takes no government funds and raises millions of dollars annually through a unique fundraising model that reaches out to individuals of all income brackets for financial support, and first hand involvement if they wish. The ASP is also the home of the Castillo Theatre, which brings experimental political theatre, dealing with contemporary and historical social issues, to the heart of New York’s commercial theatre district.
