Popis: Building on the blueprint of Marcus Garvey and Edelweiss Park in Kingston from 1910, the popular theatre movement morphed into psychohistoriographic cultural therapy in Bellevue Hospital in 1978. This sociodrama process emerged with the creation of Madnificent Irations, progressing through five distinct stages: Stage 1—the phase of the ethnohistorical meetings and the psychohistoriographic analysis; Stage 2—the phase of creation of the script; Stage 3—the phase of staging and production of the script; Stage 4—the phase of performance; and Stage 5—the phase of evaluation of the process and its outcome. The stages of the process are described and examples of each stage of the poetic and musical poiesis are presented as creations in the expression of explosive cultural creativity fuelling Jamaica’s postcolonial search for psychological and economic freedom from the ravages of four hundred years of British slavery and colonial exploitation.
