Il teatro che cura | Giuseppina Turra | TEDxBrescia

The value of theater in bridging the gap between words and being, enabling people to feel free and regain control of their own speech. Actress and theater teacher. She will discuss how theater can be useful for rehabilitation in psychiatric settings, because "it's fiction, but it tends to be more real than reality, truer than truth." Since 2001, she has collaborated with the Mental Health Department of ASST Spedali Civili Brescia as a course leader in theater animation for rehabilitation purposes, overseeing the staging of numerous shows presented by working groups from various operational units. Since 2011, in the same field of theater animation for rehabilitation purposes in psychiatric settings and with ASST Garda (Brescia), she has led three theater workshop groups at various operational units. Since 2016, he has also been collaborating with the IRCCS Centro S. Giovanni di Dio – Fatebenefratelli in Brescia, at the Bonardi Psychiatric Unit.
