Week 6

Today we spent the entire 2 hours discussing and refining our performance piece that we are going to take into Exeter prison in 2 weeks.  Dr. Liz and I had had some really good conversations on the bus back from Dartmoor that we wanted to discuss with Fiona.  We wanted to know how to work with prisoners and empower them in ways that revolved around confidence of decision rather than violence.  Our piece is going to try and explore the themes of honesty and family loyalty.  What our plan is to do some ice breaking games with the prisoners, then to perform our piece that we created, and then by the end of the day construct and perform a new piece with the prisoners.
