Our Staging Recovery ensemble celebrated their 10th birthday today with a shared lunch, some poetry, the premiere of a new film and a q&a session. It was a beautiful thing.

Still time to book onto our training course, taking place in London, next week.

Well, we thought we’d been busy in the last few months so just checked and it’s true: since January 2025 we’ve delivered 26 projects in 16 different prisons. #prisontheatre #artscjs #appliedtheatre

Still some places left on our training course, exploring our use of theatre and drama in criminal justice settings. For more information or to book your place: www.geese.co.uk/what-we-do/t... #artsincjs #appliedtheatre #prisontheatre #training

Our three-day training course on Geese's use of theatre and drama in criminal justice contexts is coming to London in March. More details: www.geese.co.uk/what-we-do/the-other-side-of-the-wall/

#ChairWanted ⭐️ We’re very sad that the wonderful Jane Anderson is coming to the end of her tenure as #Chair; we’re looking for someone equally brilliant and inspiring to join us. Could it be your time to shine?! The Chair plays an important role as a figurehead & leader 👉 bit.ly/ITTChair

Busy start to 2025 with great projects in HMPs Pentonville, Berwyn, Whatton, Aylesbury, Rye Hill, Leeds and Wealstun. #prisontheatre

Our three-day training course, The Other Side of the Wall, is now available to book. Taking place in London, with a maximum of 10 participants, this is the perfect course for those interested in developing theatre and drama skills for use in criminal justice settings. www.geese.co.uk/what-we-do/t...

We are delighted to announce the return of our three-day training course, The Other Side of the Wall. It will take place in London in March 2025 and with only ten places available is likely to sell-out quickly. More information and booking details: www.geese.co.uk/what-we-do/t... #prisontheatre

This week includes: two different prisons projects; a session for an Applied Theatre MA; a training event for prison staff; and the continuation of a community based recovery project in Wolverhampton.

Great to spend time with colleagues from Aufbruch in Berlin. Sharing practice and plotting the next phase of a partnership. The challenges of #prisontheatre are the same the world over. Fab to meet people who share a similar ethos, though different methodology. Nice to swap books too!

Beautiful illustrated tapestry, Monstrous Reputation, on display at the Faculty of Arts at Warwick Uni. Created by men at HMP Swinfen Hall… a lovely example of co-created art. More: online.flippingbook.com/view/3387351... Congrats to @sarahbartley.bsky.social @saulhewish.bsky.social and others.

Some brilliant, provocative questions from @sarahbartley.bsky.social thinking about how best to document #prisontheatre.

Theatre-makers, directors, co-creators - due to a couple of people having last minute AV issues, I have two places available on this day of joy, making, and being a participant for once. 10:30 - 5pm, Hackney Showroom N4 Pay What You Can / First come first served! nedglasier.com/courses/neds...

Here’s a starter pack for anyone involved in arts and Criminal Justice. Please share with anyone who should be part of this community. go.bsky.app/HW21pTa
