Reaching Beyond: Theatre with Incarcerated Women
<p>Since June of 2009, we've been leading theatre and creative writing workshop for women in jails and prisons in central Texas, including the Travis County Correctional Complex, and the women's prisons in Lockhart and Gatesville. Conspire Theatre is Kat Craft, Executive Director and Michelle Dahlenburg, Associate Director.<br /><br />We believe that our workshops help women re-imagine themselves, their lives and their stories. We believe that women in our classes discover new horizons and possibilities, new ways of thinking and feeling, and new approaches to the problems in their lives. We believe that the spaces we create inside oppressive institutions can be places of healing and joy. We believe that these spaces are necessary for change and growth, and that our society neglects and ignores them at its own peril. <br /><br />Conspire Theatre is a sponsored project of the Austin Creative Alliance, a 501(c)3 nonprofit. <br /><br /><br /></p>
