Theatre in Prison: Theory and Practice
Search in google:
Balfour (King Alfred's, Winchester) and international contributors examine how different concepts of theater, and their applications, relate to the assumptions, needs, and rehabilitation of the incarcerated. Essays include examinations of theater programs in prisons; the theoretical and practical processes needed to develop relevant, culturally-sensitive experiences for performers, planners, and audiences; the realities of drugs, sexual abuse, and ethnic and gender identification; and the psychological effects of poetic imagination and drama on prisoner-performers and those working with them.
