Dear Monica,
Hope plans for the sociodrama congress are proceeding well.
The most intense sociodrama I ever lived through was our re-enactment of the immediate aftermath of Jack Kennedy's assassination in Nov. 1963.
We did it under the aegis of the Moreno Academy in Los Angeles at the Biltmore Hotel a day before the Am. Psychiatric Assn. annual conference and had at least 400 persons attending. We were still raw from thatexperience. Lew Yablonsky was Kennedy, I was Jackuie. Lew found 2 males to enact the perpetrator and the man who killed him. Details are in my forthcoming book. Our session was the only one reported on in Time Magazine, as it overshadowed everything else.
The other one was training protesters at the Institute for unagressive response, civil disobedience, to aggression from police during the 1960's when African Americans stood up for their civil rights. We trained them to stay calm and go limp, not to fight back. It made their rough handling by the police less severe andmade the police look bad.
Hope this is of interest. [...]
Love, Zerka
