The film Sing Sing is about how a group of prisoners used art and specially theatre to reclaim their humanity and learn how to care for and love other men and show it. It’s fantastic. Reminded me of the kind of great work @GeeseTheatre @CeoGeese do in our criminal justice system. It’s gaining universal acclaim- 98% approval on @RottenTomatoes rottentomatoes.com/m/sing_si…

We've had a busy couple of weeks here at Geese with projects being delivered all over the country. Our prison work has taken us to Leeds, Wealstun, Oakwood, and Drake Hall in the last few days. In the latter we delivered Safe Distance, and received some great feedback:

A busy week which has involved: some filming; the first round of auditions for a new practitioner; a fascinating project exploring staff-resident relationships in a prison for foreign nationals; a session for Forensic Psychology students; and the launch of our Board recruitment.
Brilliant opportunity to become involved in our dynamic Board of Trustees. A brilliant, diverse group who volunteer their time to support our work. Get in touch if you are interested or would like an informal chat about the opportunity.
