ACHF Arts Education
Participants will develop a variety of theater skills that nurture their creativity, collaboration skills, self-confidence, and sense of belonging. We will survey participant attitudes pre- and post-process and have regular live check-ins. We will also do a skills assessment with teaching artists and survey the audience about the quality of the show. 2: Participants and the audience will also learn more about how and why the system works the way it does, and their relationship to it. Interactive lobby displays will gauge attitudes toward the incarceration system before and after the show. We will also solicit post-show surveys and will solicit qualitative responses via email, social media, and post-show discussions.
