The experiences of the most impacted women from the most incarcerated neighborhoods are documented in FJAH's LISTENING TOUR (LT). With NEFA's assistance, during 3 workshops we will use theatre exercises to explore & collectively imagine the theatrical possibilities of these findings. Leading with questions about housing & "Reimagining Communities": What does a thriving community look like to you? How can storytelling help to deal with the trauma of incarceration? How can the "second sentencing" of re-entry be exposed in performance? How do we dismantle prisons & jails?
