ABSTRACT
In this chapter, the author explores the thoughts, images, metaphors and possible ways of working them through that have emerged during the incubation period of the project. Late in 1994 he had the challenging idea of working with the large group dramatherapeutically, using bridges as the central metaphor. Bridges are used in connecting two or more seemingly separated spaces between which lies a kind of obstacle or hindrance that is difficult or dangerous to ignore or overcome in other ways. Bridges help to restore the lost continuum between two or more spaces, either on a concrete or on a symbolic level. This is the case with the Cyprus problem, which is dramatically reflected on all levels, beginning with the concrete–topographic. Members of the group can elaborate on the idea of the divided space, on the image of the green line and the metaphor of bridges, finding ways of expressing them with their bodies while interacting with each other.
