Women, Theatre, Justice:

This is the first online workshop on the Clean Break archive: an opportunity to encounter and explore aspects of Clean Break's digital archive, to interrogate and to respond. Using a curated set of materials, we will explore the multiple stories an archive can tell and uncover what our own dialogues with it might be.

Between them, Clean Break and TIPP have accrued 70 years worth of experience of arts practice in the criminal justice system. Taking place as part of an extended celebration of 40 years of Clean Break’s work, and coinciding with the 30th anniversary of TIPP’s prison theatre course for undergraduates, this event is of interest to anyone who wants to find out more about collaborative, socially-engaged and creative approaches to arts practice in prisons.

This online seminar was aimed principally at undergraduate and postgraduate students interested in women and the criminal justice system. The event draws on perspectives from criminal justice research, policy and practice, as well as performance, and explores the gendered pains of punishment for criminalised women.

This online panel event brought together speakers from Criminal Justice, Arts and Culture, and the Women’s Sector to reflect on how the coronavirus has impacted the lives of incarcerated women and those encountering the criminal justice system at this time.

This online seminar was aimed at practitioners and researchers interested in women and the criminal justice system.
