About us
CDthAN is a community for past and future graduates of the Masters Programme in Drama and Movement Therapy at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama; University of London.
The network provides a platform for evolving dialogue around theory and practice. We aim to offer space to share professional news, practice and research that is rooted in the Sesame methodology.
We welcome current students, qualified Sesame Dramatherapists and other professionals from relevant disciplines to attend diverse and varied training opportunities.
CDthAN was launched in 2017 and continues as a Non-Profit network administered by Graduates of the MA.
CDthAN offers members free or low cost CPD opportunities. Keep up-to-date with upcoming events here and position vacancies. If you would like to propose a CPD event or advertise a job opportunity then get in touch and this will be considered by the team.
