The podcast explores alliances between art therapy and drama therapy by staging a painting and how the frame of the picture resonates with ritual theatre and rites of passage. Threshold crossings can help mark the boundary of the painting from everyday reality and help with the development and containment of the imagination.

Delineating the poetical reality from the everyday reality in Creative Arts Therapies helps to manage boundaries, but is also a further opportunity to explore threshold crossings that have the potential to connect with rites of passage. The exploration has the potential to process earlier significant life events that may been neglected or unrecognised.
Integrating ritual theatre processes within an art therapy context, offers opportunity to amplify the participants experience crossing from everyday reality to the poetical reality of the painting. The navigation from one world to another helps to shift and heighten the participants consciousness to generate emotional and intellectual awareness.
