Críticas
Rhodessa Jones and the incarcerated women with whom she works have created compelling art out of terror and despair. And Rena Fraden has captured the spirit of this visionary effort in an engaging, thoughtful, and inspiring text. Don't miss the joy of reading it. (Margaret B. Wilkerson, Ford Foundation) Both this book and the theater project it explores make an important contribution to contemporary activist efforts to rescue imprisoned women of color from the invisibility to which they historically have been relegated. (Angela Y. Davis, from the Foreword)
Reseña del editor
Art as activism; ""This ain't no Dreamgirls,"" Rhodessa Jones warns participants in the Medea Project, the theater program for incarcerated women that she founded and directs. Her expectations are grounded in reality, tempered, for example, by the fact that women are the fastest growing population in U.S. prisons. Still, Jones believes that by engaging incarcerated women in the process of developing and staging dramatic works based on their own stories, she can push them toward tapping into their own creativity, confronting the problems that landed them in prison, and taking control of their lives. Rena Fraden chronicles the collaborative process of transforming incarcerated women's stories into productions that incorporate Greek mythology, hip-hop music, dance, and autobiography. She captures a diverse array of voices, including those of Jones and other artists, the sheriff and prison guards, and, most vividly, the women themselves. Through compelling narrative and thoughtful commentary, Fraden investigates the Medea Project's blend of art and activism and considers its limits and possibilities for enacting social change. Rhodessa Jones is co-artistic director of the San Francisco-based performance company Cultural Odyssey and founder of the Medea Project: Theater for Incarcerated Women. An award-winning performer, she has taught at the Yale School of Drama and the New College of California.
