Gestalt theatre is an expressive and holistic approach to therapeutic and personal development work. It combines the principles of Gestalt therapy, dramatherapy, applied improvisation and live theatre. It leads to expanded awareness, deeper understanding of self and others, understanding of needs, working through emotions and inner and interpersonal conflicts. It uses theatre techniques (according to Konstantin Stanislavsky, Lee Strasberg and Sanford Meisner) as tools, especially improvisation and role-playing, music, movement or relaxation techniques.

Improvisational theatre, or applied improvisation, is increasingly used in mental health care and psychotherapy. Pilot studies from the last ten years, mainly from the USA, Israel, Germany and other countries, have mapped the therapeutic potential of practicing improvisational skills, which are characterised by an emphasis on playfulness, collaboration, creativity, humour and spontaneity. Other studies highlight the fact that improv can also significantly develop therapists and other workers in the helping professions.
