PERFORMANCE AND DISCUSSION (5:15-6:30)


THE PRISON STORY PROJECT: ON THE ROW is a production of the Northwest Arkansas Prison Story Project, which since 2011 has been sending teams of writers into prisons, leading writing workshops with the inmates, and then developing readers’ theatre scripts that are performed by professional actors both for the inmates who write the material and for public audiences. In the summer of 2016, the Prison Story Project undertook its most challenging initiative: eight inmates housed on Arkansas’ Death Row met with Prison Story Project workshop leaders one Saturday a month from May through September to read and discuss imaginative literature and write in response to issues, themes, and problems raised by it. ON THE ROW, the 70-minute script generated by the initiative, was performed on Death Row for the writers on October 8 and subsequently presented to large, enthusiastic public audiences in the weeks and months following the initial performance.

This event is sponsored by the Brown Chair in English Literacy at the University of Arkansas and by the CU Boulder Office for Outreach and Engagement.

“PHD to Ph.D.: How Education Saved My Life”
Elaine Richardson’s One-woman Performance 
Friday, October 20, 5:00-6:30; doors at 4:30

Addicted to drugs, abusive controlling pimps, the streets, short stints in jail, the cycle of death that was her life, and on top of that, pregnant AGAIN.  It was the end. The only way out was death or prison, but that wasn’t her fate.  Instead, she went to school… and never stopped.  On her journey, she became empowered with knowledge of her culture and history. Today, Dr. Elaine Richardson shares her story of sexual exploitation and other forms of bondage to bring awareness to the plight of those entrapped in urban domestic human trafficking, and to promote healing and empowerment through education.

This event is funded by the (IMPART) Implementation of Multicultural Perspectives and Approaches in Research and Teaching Awards Program, by the CU Boulder Office for Outreach and Engagement, and by the CU Boulder Office for Diversity, Equity, and Community Engagement.

“Why We Strive”
Facilitated Closing Plenary & Performance, with Playback Theatre West
Saturday, October 21, 4:00-5:30

Playback Theatre is founded upon the idea that stories shape our lives and build community. For nearly 30 years, the professional actors and musicians of Playback Theatre West have used this form to facilitate both personal and community sharing, healing, and growth. Audience members share a story from their lives and professional improvisers turn them into art, on the spot.

This unique and interactive not-to-be-missed closing event will allow us to bring together participants from across the conference, to explore shared themes and forge connections between our work, our current/future challenges, and our shared visions.  Playback’s fluidly dynamic, embodied forms invite us to visualize more clearly the ways in which the dynamics behind our conference themes write themselves upon the world and affect us as whole persons and interrelating communities.

In this facilitated closing plenary, conference participants will be invited to share moments or insights from the conference, our lives, and our individual and collective work – which will be “translated” into professional theater, movement, and song, in the moment and on the spot.
