Cognitive Behavioral Theater

Dominic Syracuse began teaching acting in maximum security prison with the Stella Adler New York Outreach Program. After seeing the incredibly positive impact self-expression had on the population, Dominic was asked to use these techniques begin teaching anger management classes inside the prison system, and thus certified by the Cognitive Behavioral Institute.After realizing that both acting training and CBT exercises have similar goals - to help people manage their stress and effectively express themselves - Dominic began using Theatrical games and exercises to teach cognitive behavioral techniques to those in need.  

Since seeing what an incredible impact these courses could provide, Dominic has made it his mission to bring his work to a wide array of communities to use the power of self-expression to empower themselves, set goals, and live the life they could previously only imagine.
