"Telling My Story"

"Telling My Story"
Final Performance at Sullivan County House of Corrections, Unity, NH
6pm on Thursday, May 8th and Friday, May 9th

Dear Friends,
We would like to extend an invitation for you to join the students of Dartmouth College’s Women & Gender Studies (WGST 66.5) and Master of Arts in Liberal Studies (MALS 364) "Telling Stories for Social Change” along with the female inmates of Sullivan County House of Corrections, for a collaborative and original end of term performance.
This community-based learning course, taught by Pati Hernandez, offers students the unique opportunity to study our increasingly elusive, ever-growing incarceration system from two distinct perspectives, theoretical and practical. Students have focused on the issues prisoners face both inside and outside prison; incarceration, rehabilitation, and transition, while simultaneously exploring facilitation with critical analysis and self-reflection on the effectiveness of community-based learning, arts and performance in rehabilitation. We would like you to join us in the culmination of this course – the creation and performance of an original production that focuses on the voices of inmates.
The performance is scheduled for THURSDAY, MAY 8TH and FRIDAY, MAY 9TH at 6pm, located at the Sullivan County House of Corrections, Unity, NH. There will be rides available from Hanover.
If you are interested please see below for further details.
Saludos and much peace,
Pati Hernandez
