RE: I just went to prison for 5 months. Again. | 02
I love how you've dived straight in with the small subjects! Violence in America!! At university I did a three month Prison theatre programme. One of the prisons we taught in we devised a show called 'Home.' That was not a small subject either for them. Life in prison is pretty much a big subject, why would they want to tackle anything small? Would love to hear more about it.
Well--haha--they selected the topic last semester. I think we had class the evening after a big shooting, and so when asked what they would devise a piece of theatre about that was relevant to them and on their minds---they came up with unprovoked American violence. But it seems to be sticking for them and still of interest, so off we go! I’ll be writing a blog about it every week through final production!
