FISCAL
YEAR 2006 |
February
28, 2007
Dear Friends,
Using the art of drama,
Creative Alternatives of New York (CANY)
helps thousands of children, adolescents
and adults find hope and renewed possibility
in their lives. We are proud of the CANY
artists who have developed a transformative
model of drama therapy over the past 35
years. Their dedication, paired with the
financial resources we receive from our
supporters each year, enables individuals,
young and old, across New York and Connecticut
to imagine a positive future and to find
the strength within themselves and their
communities to take steps toward that
future.
This past year CANY’s
talented staff of drama therapists and
theater artists led more than 1,400 groups
in community centers, residential facilities,
special schools and hospitals. This represents
an increase of almost 35% over 2005, an
accomplishment we could not have achieved
without the generous support of donors
who believe in the power of the arts to
heal. CANY groups enable the most underserved
and fragile children and adults to heal
through creative expression. Among the
sites that benefited from CANY groups
in 2006 were:
- A safe house where women survivors
of domestic violence call their CANY
group the “Drama Mamas,”
and where one group member explains,
“I learned ways to cope with
the fact that I was victimized, to
build a recovery process and to continue
with my life.”
- A residential treatment facility
for adolescents whose lives have included
violence and abuse, where CANY group
participants wrote and performed a
play titled, From the Bottom Up, which
the narrator says is “about
people trying to be what they always
wanted to be.”
- A psychiatric hospital where a young
woman said about the CANY group, “this
is the only hour of the week that
I didn’t feel like killing myself.”
In addition to reaching
more children and adults last year, we
are also pleased to report that we have
taught the CANY model to hundreds of clinicians,
educators, artists and child care workers,
sharing our method of drama therapy throughout
New York and beyond. CANY has developed
training methods that teach other agencies
how to use our model of drama therapy
to enhance their client treatment programs,
and how to facilitate a supportive professional
community among staff members whose work
is very challenging. We look forward to
providing more training in the coming
year.
We see the power of the
art of drama, combined with group therapy
methods, to help people reconnect with
their potential and their community. We
hope we can count on your support as we
continue helping children and adults heal
through creative expression.
Thank you,
 |

The Creative Alternatives
Model of Drama Therapy:
The Creative Alternatives method
of drama therapy has been developed
to respond to the diverse ways
in which emotional disturbance
fragments the self, severs interpersonal
relationships and severely impairs
the developmental process. The
CANY method has developed over
35 years of clinical practice
and has been informed by an array
of creative and therapeutic influences
over time, reflected in a staff
of theater artists and drama therapists
alike. Groups are not fixed or
formulaic in nature but respond
to the unique needs of the clients
gathered in that moment to commune,
create and heal. With that said
group leaders follow a clear set
of guiding principles, informing
both the creative and therapeutic
interventions made:
Metaphor as therapeutic
tool
The creation of dramatic fiction
is central to the therapeutic
process, providing a safe container
for diverse and difficult feelings,
experiences and thoughts. Metaphor
allows access to stories that
need to be told in order for the
individual to function in a healthier
way; meaningful life stories that
can often only be accessed through
the freedom of the fictional realm.
Through the use of fictional
characters, dramatic enactment,
poetry, art and music, our clients
begin to discover and explore
their inner worlds, tapping into
dormant creative energies within.
Themes, evoked by the group or
introduced by the leader, produce
stories which in turn are brought
to life as group members cast
one another to enact the storyteller’s
journey. In this way, the metaphorical
world serves the therapeutic process.
As the client engages in the creative
process, they gain access to the
healing potential of the imagination,
experiencing a sense of mastery
and new possibilities.
Group as therapeutic agent
The group process lies at the
heart of the CANY model. Groups
serve to bridge experiences that
build connections between participating
clients. The interactive process
of creating stories and building
dramas generates a sense of commonality,
interpersonal identification and
an environment in which relationships
of trust can be developed and
restored in the here and now of
the group.
At the heart of our philosophy
is a belief in the healing capacity
of community. Just as our clients
gather in group to connect and
grow, so CANY invests in a parallel
community, in which our staff
engages in group and individual
supervision, acknowledging the
therapeutic process as an essential
part of training for effective
group leadership. Following this
model, we run our groups in teams
of two with the belief that co-leadership
models for the client the therapeutic
benefits of a healthy partnership:
cooperation, communication and
mutual support. In addition, we
provide training workshops to
clinical staff at a number of
program sites, focusing on the
group process and healing through
relationship.
Creativity as health
A central objective of CANY groups
is to explore and connect the
individual with their creative
potential. Groups do not focus
on pathology but rather possibility
and the capacity for health, transformation
and the expression of a full range
of feelings. Groups focus on the
writing of new life stories and
the playing of new roles, providing
a safe and containing environment
in which to explore and enact
new possibilities. CANY groups
seek to meet maturational gaps;
holes in the developmental process
that continues to influence life
choices and therefore hold the
client back from their potential.
The CANY model addresses this
maturational deficit through imagination,
fiction and play, all within the
context of the group experience.

Our
Direct Service Programs with Children
and Youth:
Andrus
Children’s Center
Andrus Children’s Center is
a private non-profit community agency
offering prevention, assessment,
educational, treatment and research
programs that help children and
families achieve healthy, stable
lives throughout Westchester County
and the tri-state area. Over the
past two years, CANY groups have
served as an integral part of this
therapeutic and educational model
of work, running a program at two
discrete sites on the Andrus campus.
The Orchard School offers highly
specialized instructional services
for students with special needs
and strives to create a welcoming
environment where children feel
safe, address affective issues,
acquire academic skills, and anticipate
a more hopeful future. The teachers,
assistants, social workers, and
administrators all play an active
role in the drama therapy program
at the Orchard School. In addition
to the usual CANY methods, the program
staff also incorporates insights
and practices from the SANCTUARY
model, whereby traumatized children
learn how to create a safe and nurturing
environment in which to grow and
develop.
The Diagnostic Center provides shelter,
safety and a fresh start for a group
of youngsters whose lives have been
profoundly traumatized or endangered.
The children participating in the
Diagnostic Center groups range between
six and ten years of age. The group
is small in size due to the behavioral
and psychological challenges and
needs of this traumatized group
of children. CANY activities have
sought to reintegrate play into
the lives of these psychologically
battered individuals, restoring
imagination, safety, connection
and trust into their bodies, hearts
and minds of group members.
Children’s
Aid Society - Hope Leadership Academy
& Project Bold
Both Hope Leadership Academy and
Project Bold were born out of a
need to address issues of violence
and victimization in the lives of
at-risk youth. The Hope Leadership
Academy in Harlem and the Bronx
trains youth to be community educators,
advocates and leaders by providing
the skills and self-confidence that
young adults need to make changes
in their own lives, their neighborhoods
and beyond. Project Bold is an alternative
high school program in the Bronx,
offering a safe and structured environment
to youth during periods of public
school suspension. Participants
in both Project Bold and the two
Hope Leadership Academies range
between 14-18 years old. Groups
are co-educational in nature and
consist of teenagers from diverse
cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds.
Children’s
Center of Hamden
Founded in 1833," the Children’s
Center of Hamden is Connecticut’s
oldest chartered private child-caring
agency. While most clients are from
Greater New Haven, the center welcomes
children from throughout the state
of Connecticut, targeting emotional
and behavioral problems, physical
or sexual abuse, learning disabilities,
and substance abuse.
CANY seeks to offer a creative space
for the children at Hamden to explore
their often tumultuous life experience
through metaphor, story and drama.
Groups allow participants to celebrate
in their creativity and imagination,
so often denied children in crisis.
At Hamden, CANY staff runs three
one-hour groups each week, one boys
group and two separate girls’
groups, responding to the needs
of each group in terms of age, gender
and life situation.
The
Children's Village
The residential treatment center
at the Dobbs Ferry campus serves
deeply troubled children from within
the foster care system, the majority
of who come from impoverished, inner
city neighborhoods, rife with crime
and violence. The Children’s
Village works to undo this damage
by providing intensive clinical
services in a safe, nurturing environment,
and by working with families to
prepare them to foster an environment
of love and support that their children
will need upon returning home. CANY
works with emotionally disturbed
youth at The Children’s Village,
offering a separate boys and girl’s
group with children aged 5 through
17.
Church
Street School for Music and Art
Church Street School for Music and
Art is a not-for-profit community
arts center, established in 1990,
dedicated to arts education in Lower
Manhattan, and serves as a common
meeting ground for students from
diverse backgrounds. CANY groups
seek to respond to the needs of
a community resting at the edge
of the World Trade Center site,
focusing on developing connections
between participants as well as
creating a safe space to share stories
and experiences, feelings and thoughts.
Funded by the American Red Cross
to assist affected residents of
9/11, CANY groups seek to find ways
in which participants can express
feelings and thoughts in a contained
and therapeutic manner.
Graham-Windham
Services to Families and Children:
Langston Hughes PS 30M
Graham-Windham serves children and
adolescents with a history of delinquency,
incarceration, and/or emotional
disturbance, offering programs at
multiple sites in New York State
including P.S. #30 in Harlem. Graham-Windham
groups serve young people aged between
ages 11-14, diverse in cultural
and socioeconomic backgrounds. Creative
Alternative’s program goals
over the past year were to increase
cooperation, build self-esteem,
foster appropriate self-expression
and practice conflict resolution
skills.
Hawthorne
Cedar Knolls
As part of the Jewish Board of Family
and Children's Services in Westchester
County, Hawthorne Cedar Knolls serves
residential and day students with
behavioral, emotional, psychological
and familial problems with the continuing
mission of rehabilitating youth
so they can rejoin their families
and the community. The CANY program
was greatly expanded at Hawthorne
this year due to an increase in
funding, enlarging to eight groups
a week at Linden Hill Middle School,
Cedar Knolls High School and, during
second semester, a group at the
newly opened Elementary School.
Group members present with a diverse
range of emotional psychological
and behavioral needs:
Mount
Sinai Medical Center: Inpatient
Child and Adolescent Units
CANY staff runs groups on both the
child and adolescent units at Mt
Sinai. While the younger group serves
children aged between five and 12,
the adolescent group consists of
young people aged between 13 and
17. Duration of stay can be anywhere
between two weeks to two months
and clients present with a diverse
range of diagnoses and symptoms,
including major depression, attention
deficit disorder, poor impulse control
and anger management, self mutilation,
and trauma from sexual, physical
and psychological abuse.
Wildcat
Academy
Wildcat Academy is an alternative
high school for youth-at-risk, targeting
students with a history of poor
attendance and academic achievement
as well as behavioral problems or
criminality, offering students an
innovative approach to engage them
in their educational and social
development. For the past several
years, CANY has run two 90 minute
groups, twice a week, on Wednesdays
and Fridays, with Wildcat students.
CANY groups are structured to respond
to an integral part of the Wildcat
curriculum, seeking to improve concentration
and motivation, enhance articulation
of feelings and thoughts, increase
positive social exchange, as well
as raise self-awareness and self-esteem.
CANY groups target co-ed youth-at-risk
of high school age, offering therapeutic
theater as part of the school’s
alternative curriculum. |
Why
I Like Our Group
“Leave
me alone,” I say
But when I come into the group
All this goes out the window.
I’m sleeping upstairs
I get up out of bed
When I hear the announcement
It sparkles up my mood
The whole world is a stage
And I’m just crazy about it.

Our
Training Programs:
Creative
Alternatives Staff Training Program
at Mt. Sinai Hospital
Creative Alternatives
provides an intensive six-month
training in our methodology, an
exclusive program for potential
new CANY artist staff. The training
is both didactic and experiential;
participants are given the opportunity
to train as part of ongoing CANY
groups within inpatient psychiatry
at Mount Sinai Hospital. Training
additionally includes weekly staff
supervision attendance as well as
training groups with a range of
program populations in various groups
led by CANY training staff.
NYU
Drama Therapy Graduate Student Internship
Program
Creative Alternatives
provides graduate internships to
NYU Drama Therapy second year students,
developing and honing clinical tools
and creative techniques. Other drama
therapy students may also apply
for this internship program. Interns
are supervised and evaluated by
CANY Program Director, Lucy McLellan,
in the following areas: Knowledge
of basic theories and practice of
group dynamics; ability to function
in the role of group leader and
to provide the necessary structure
and setting of limits; ability to
formulate appropriate drama therapy
goals for group, and to implement
and modify the different techniques
of drama therapy to meet the goals;
ability to identify roles and interactional
patterns of group members, facilitating
effective socialization with the
drama therapy modality; ability
to work with a co-leader in a group,
recognizing the special problems
of resistance that occur with this
dynamic.
Trainings
workshops for professional development
The CANY training
program is rooted in the understanding
that all group leaders benefit from
their own groups in which they can
explore professional issues and
emotional needs, building a stronger
and more conscious working community.
CANY staff facilitates training
workshops at sites in which our
programs already operate as well
as organizations unfamiliar with
our model of therapeutic theater.
We provide a hands-on opportunity
for staff to experience the healing
and creative aspects of a drama
therapy group experience. Participants
are offered a forum for reconnection
and rejuvenation, engaging in a
professional community-building
process through creative self-expression,
discussion and play. Workshops will
offer and explore:
- The art of creating safe
communities through group process
- Working creatively with resistance,
aggression and fear
- The creation of therapeutic
dramas through improvisation
- The use of character and role
to facilitate constructive self-expression
- The therapeutic use of story,
poetry and myth
The
Intensive Training Program: For
agency staff to implement the CANY
model with their clients
This intensive
program is tailored to meet the
discrete needs and schedules of
each organization. The duration
of training may last from one week
to one year, for instance, and will
focus on the building and maintenance
of a healthy professional community
with the long-term goal of training
staff to engage in the CANY model
of healing through creative expression.
During this extended training period,
participants are led through a drama
therapy group process, tapping into
dormant creative energies and finding
new ways to connect and grow as
a professional community. Participants
are encouraged to reflect on the
ways in which the creative therapeutic
process may serve their clients/students/patients,
noting the healing potential of
a shared group experience in the
parallel communities in which they
serve.

The
Center for Creative Alternatives:
Public Workshops
The Center
for Creative Alternatives (CCA)
emerged from a series of
dialogues in 2005 between Emily
Nash, CANY Artistic Director and
Dr. Robert Landy, Director of the
Drama Therapy Program at NYU. These
conversations gave rise to the development
of a new, expansive drama therapy
institute for training and personal
growth based in principles of drama
therapy.
Four workshops
led by Ms. Nash and Dr. Landy were
offered in Fiscal Year 2006:
- Untold Stories: A Workshop
in Drama Therapy and Group Process
- Stories of Rupture and Renewal:
An Experience in Healing through
Drama Therapy and Group Process.
- Transforming Narrative to
Dramatic Enactment: Bringing
the Story to Life
- Shadow Stories: A Dialogue
with the Other Side
The workshops attracted
a broad constituency of students
and professionals in the fields
of mental health, drama and related
arts therapies, theater, religion,
medicine and business. The positive
feedback and continuing discussions
led to expanded offerings for Fiscal
Year 2007.
Philosophy of CCA: The philosophy
of the CCA is to build a healing
community based in a process of
group psychotherapy and therapeutic
dramatization. In creating such
a community Ms. Nash and Dr. Landy
focus on psychological, social and
spiritual dynamics—exploring
means of personal, interpersonal
and transpersonal expression. CCA
seeks to build a community where
new and innovative approaches are
welcomed, and where participants
are encouraged to grow and develop
through a safe and containing process.
The experience
in training and personal growth
has its foundations in the Creative
Alternatives model of therapeutic
theater and group process developed
by Ms. Nash and the drama therapy
model of role and story developed
by Dr. Robert Landy. |
