And Still We Rise Productions
www.andstillwerise.orgAnd Still We Rise Productions is a collaborative theater project dedicated to healing, public awareness, and social change through empowering the voices of formerly incarcerated people and their loved ones. With the establishment of a safe and creative training environment and the use of theatre exercises and therapeutic techniques, we aim to: 1. Help participants gain skills and self-confidence in shaping and asserting their personal stories. 2. Weave their story-telling together into performances that move audiences to greater understanding and compassion for the struggles of these and other individuals who spend years incarcerated and then strive to integrate back into society. 3. Create a vital public forum where participants are able to bring sharp focus, rouse concern, and spearhead discussion of pressing criminal justice issues. We believe that the power and authenticity of the participants’ stories will increase public awareness of and desire for criminal justice reform. It is our greatest hope that all involved will be compelled towards action for effective change.
