Purpose: To explore and describe mental healthcare students’ experiences of participating in warm-up exercises in a drama workshop. Design: This qualitative study is based on the researchers’ participation in field studies of a drama workshop, and focus group interviews with the students. Findings: The findings indicated that the warm-up exercises provided positive learning experiences, and these are represented in two main categories with related sub-categories: 1) Creating a positive learning environment, and 2) Being involved and engaged in the experience. Originality/Value: This study shows that to achieve safe and engaging learning, the use of warm-up activities can be particularly valuable in encouraging participants to experiment freely and spontaneously with different roles from their clinical experiences.Ingrid FemdalEva Bjørg AntonsenBruce BurtonMargret LeppScandinavian University Press (Universitetsforlaget)articlemental health care practiceswarm up activitiesflow experiencesmental health education at master levelreflectionmentalhealthcarepracticesArts in generalNX1-820Medicine (General)R5-920DAENNordic Journal of Arts, Culture and Health, Vol 3, Pp 21-33 (2021)
