This brave and powerful piece, offered through JDPP’s Project’s Stepping Out program focuses on the complicated road to discovering voice and being heard within carceral settings and after returning to the community. First-person stories from lived experience break open issues of incarceration through spoken word, dance, and song that movingly portray questions of confinement, choice, separation from family, accountability, and freedom. The performance is scripted and directed by JDPP Artistic Director Judy Dworin and features community members who have returned from prison and JDPP artists. They collectively bring the voices of those impacted by incarceration into public view, inviting the audience to engage in dialogue, expand awareness, activate constructive change, and understand art as a gateway to healing.
