Performing New Lives draws together some of the most original and
innovative programs in contemporary prison theatre. Leading prison
theatre directors and practitioners discuss the prison theatre
experience first-hand, and offer valuable insights into its role,
function, and implementation. A wide range of prison theatre
initiatives are discussed, from long-running, high-profile programs
such as Curt Tofteland's "Shakespeare Behind Bars" in LaGrange,
Kentucky, to fledgling efforts like Jodi Jinks' "ArtsAloud" project
in Austin, Texas. The book offers unique insights into the many
dimensions of the prison theatre experience, including: negotiating
the rules and restrictions of the prison environment; establishing
trust, teaching performance skills and managing crises; building
relationships and dealing with conflicts; and negotiating public
performances and public perceptions. Excerpts of interviews with
inmates, and a conversation between practitioners in the final
chapter, reveal the impact that prison theatre programs have on the
performers themselves, as well as audience members, and the wider
community. Exploring prison theatre processes and theory with
insights into how it works in practice, and how to replicate it,
this book is essential reading for drama therapists, theatre
artists, and prison educators, as well as academics.
This book neither argues for or against the continuation of boxing,
but lays out the literature and the body of scientific knowledge
that are necessary to provide a meaningful background for the
ensuing debate. It provides a comprehensive resource for those who
are involved in regulating boxing and those who participate
directly, as well as for the medical and scientific communities.

extensive body of medical literature on boxing injuries to
demonstrate that brain damage is a natural consequence of boxing.
