This week we are headed to prison… and you're invited to tag along! You won't want to miss this fascinating interview with the man who created the award-winning and life-changing program, “Shakespeare Behind Bars,” Curt Tofteland. How did Curt come up with the idea to take Shakespeare into the prisons? What process does he follow to build trust with the inmates and guide them to perform a Shakespearean play? What challenges, and also success stories, has Curt encountered over the years? And how has the program expanded to now include “Shakespeare BEYOND Bars”? These are just a few of the many questions we discuss with Curt Tofteland, who will soon celebrate 30 years of working with this program, which is also the subject of an award-winning documentary.  NOTE: This episode contains adult themes and descriptions of violence.

Whether it's in your high school English class or one of the many Shakespeare-inspired 90s rom-coms (10 Things I Hate About You, anybody?), most of us have encountered Shakespeare in some form or another. Another place you can find the Bard? California's Centinela State Prison. The podcast Where There's a Will: Finding Shakespeare tells us about how performing Shakespeare can be transformative for incarcerated individuals.Also: in 1986, NASA's space shuttle Challenger exploded, killing all of its seven crew members. Among them was Christa McAuliffe, a social studies teacher who would have been the first private citizen in space. Christa was one of 10 finalists from Ronald Reagan's "Teacher in Space" project. Chosen from more than 10,000 teacher applicants, the finalists participated in weeks of rigorous testing and training. NASA called it "space camp," but the process was far from fun and games. In Slate's One Year: 1986, we hear about that intense experience from the former candidates themselves.All that and more, this week on Podcast Playlist.Featuring: If Books Could Kill, Where There's A Will: Finding Shakespeare, One Year: 1986, Missing and Murdered: Who Killed Alberta Williams, Future PerfectFor links and more info head to cbc.ca/podcastplaylist.

Episode Topic: Shakespeare in Prisons Join us as we launch Shakespeare and Possibility, a series of conversations exploring how Shakespeare at Notre Dame is redefining what it means to produce Shakespeare's works onstage and in the community in the 21st century. Discover how our work, consonant with the mission of Our Lady's University, strives to serve the common good in surprising ways for an ever-changing world. Our first series offering “Shakespeare in Prisons” details the creation of the Shakespeare in Prisons Network founded at Notre Dame in 2013. This panel features the co-founders of the network; Peter Holland, McMeel Family Chair in Shakespeare Studies at Notre Dame, Curt Tofteland, Founding Director of Shakespeare Behind Bars, and Scott Jackson, Mary Irene Ryan Executive Artistic Director, Shakespeare at Notre Dame, who reflect on the early conversations that led to the first international Shakespeare in Prisons Conference in November 2013, where prison theater practitioners and scholars together discussed the impact of Shakespeare in prisons programs on systems-impacted individuals. From those humble beginnings the Shakespeare in Prisons Network has produced four conferences and created a network that today comprises more than 350 individuals and organizations from 17 nations on six continents. The growth of this movement is a testament to the power of Shakespeare's works in carceral settings and beyond.Featured Speakers:Jennifer Birkett '23 PhD, Postdoctoral Fellow with Shakespeare, University of Notre DameScott Jackson, Mary Irene Ryan Family Executive Artistic Director of Shakespeare, University of Notre DamePeter Holland, McMeel Family Chair in Shakespeare Studies, University of Notre Dame Curt Tofteland, Founder of the Shakespeare Behind Bars (SBB) programRead this episode's recap over on the University of Notre Dame's open online learning community platform, ThinkND: go.nd.edu/8a4495.This podcast is a part of the ThinkND Series titled Shakespeare and Possibility.Thanks for listening!

Loretta and Suzanne focus on the work being done in incarcerated communities this episode. From an in-depth interview with Dr Chris Matthews from Southern NH University to a discussion with the founder of Shakespeare Behind Bars, Curt Tofteland, about his work bringing theatre to inmates across the country.

In this episode of Amplified Voices, Amber and Jason speak with Melissa Tanis, a ferocious advocate for parole justice, compassionate release, and children of incarcerated parents. Melissa shares her story of having her father incarcerated when she was five years old and the impact that it had on her own life as well as the lives of her family members. She shares the emotional path she navigated to reconnect with her dad after many years of no contact. She authentically outlines her feelings and understanding of his complex journey through accountability - highlighting the harshness of a system that sees people and the sum of their crime, rather than as complex human beings with the ability to change. Melissa was able to find her father after many years through his participation in the Shakespeare Behind Bars program and the resulting documentary film. After being denied parole and compassionate release based on the nature of his crime, her father passed away in prison. Melissa is a graduate of Columbia School of Social Work, with a concentration on policy. She is the Policy and Communications Manager for the Center for Justice at Columbia School of Social Work. She has worked for over five years in the Communications and Policy field and has dedicated her work to supporting incarcerated and formerly incarcerated people and their families. She is a member and consultant for the Release Aging People in Prison Campaign, an adviser for the New York Initiative for Children of Incarcerated Parents, and a volunteer with the Parole Preparation Project. Support the show

Soul-stirring story alert!

Water for the Rose by Wayne LuthiOur world is a sea of poetry, yet with everyday demands for our attention and our survival, we are almost forced solely into the expedient. With little room left for a faculty that requires us to slow down for it to function, imagination, reflection, and wonder have to hitchhike to find their way to our deeper places. Like the old phonographs that played vinyl records, poems are running at 33rpm whereas the business of the everyday is running on 45 or 78rpm. 45 or 78rpm gets through the records a lot quicker but the beauty and clarity of the music are missed. The poems contained here are for when you have a moment to take that evening walk. The invitation is to find an experience of delight in an image or the association of images that we normally don't put together. My hope is that there are many pieces here that offer you a perspective that speaks to you in some way and maybe to a place in yourself that hasn't been spoken to for a while.Native of San Francisco, 4 years in USAF as an air traffic controller 2 years in England, 1 year in Thailand: 1969 during Viet Nam War. Graduated from San Francisco State. BA. International Relations Worked 1 year with Procter & Gamble travelling U.S. managing sampling distribution of products in various cities. Arrived in Louisville, Kentucky in 1974 and stayed, as I met my wife here. We have been together for 47 years. Worked 17 years with IBM, both accounts administration and financial analyst. Our dept was downsized out Sept 30th '94.

It is this that I strive for in my writing. Poets often take what has been given to them in their experience and deconstruct and reconstruct perception in a way that can offer the unconsidered a different perspective. Sometimes lyric can quiet or console, sometimes it can stick as a pollen grain of realization. Experiences of images, places, and people are shared here for the inner world of imagination and reflection, hopefully in a way that joins with something in you. The theme and focus of this work is of a time period when I lived in San Francisco, England, and Thailand. I was fortunate to “live” in the coffee houses and on the streets of the beat poets, to spend endless hours in the late Lawrence Ferlinghetti's City Lights Book Store. I was fortunate to have been able to play as a child in the sacred hollows of the redwood trees. This book celebrates those worlds.https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09FBNMBHC

Ronald Anthony Brown, Jr. aka Ron Brown, has had a profound journey that had him on a 25 year hiatus; but trust me he was not dormant during this time….he will share with us how he worked on improving his life for his re-entry into society that started five years ago. He is a founding member of Shakespeare Behind Bars, and he strives to take his experiences and insight into criminal justice, personal accountability, and overcoming personal obstacles and has created a career as a motivational speaker and life mentor. One of his quotes that he finds most purposeful and at the foundation of his journey is, “A lie has speed, but the truth has endurance.” #AllAboutTheExperiences #LivingWithoutLimits #Podcast #RonaldAnthonyBrownJr #ShakespeareBehindBars #PersonalAccountability #Incarceration #JourneyOfDiscovery --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/aate/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/aate/support

Redemption Performing Arts Whanau and Redemption Arts Tuakana Teina Mentors has just won an Arts Access Accolade for its collaborative approach to the arts programme, and also for the positive impact it's having on those inmates who sign up for it. Lynn Freeman talks with Beth Hill, Programme Leader of Redemption Arts & Education Services, and also to "Marvel", one of the prisoners, who says their life is on a different direction thanks to what they've learned from the programme. Beth says the Redemption programme emerged in 2017 from one called Shakespeare Behind Bars.

We explore issues of rehabilitation and redemption with Curt Tofteland, founder and producing director of Shakespeare Behind Bars. SBB is an organization that offers theatrical encounters to incarcerate, post-incarcerated, and at-risk communities. Regular contributor Jerry Johnston joins Marcus Smith to reflect on the conversation.

Retreating to the Blanket Fort Emerging with Purpose What can you do when so much of the news can easily fill you with blinding anger? What happens when the anger becomes all too much? This week, Robin Renée, Mary McGinley, and Wendy Sheridan contemplate outrage fatigue and the never-ending stream that seems designed to wear us down. They consider ways the outrage can be transformed to raw energy and then to positive action - such as focusing on a primary activist issue like reproductive rights, writing to representatives (Wendy has created handy We The People postcards for that), using Resistbot, or starting a podcast. A big question emerges: Will Wendy run for office? In other news, there is encouragement from the nationwide Families Belong Together protests and recent court orders imposing a greater need for cause in the detention of immigrants and quick reunions of immigrant parents and children who were separated at the border. Wendy speaks of the passing of Harlan Ellison, his beloved writing, and how he elevated science fiction to an art form. Robin remembers Alan Longmuir, co-founder of the Bay City Rollers. Mary recognizes Sarah Eismann for her recent, remarkable feat of Swimming for Shakespeare in order to raise awareness about the Shakespeare Behind Bars program. PSA: Heat Exhaustion or Heat Stroke

This week, my guest is someone who spends some of his time in creative work, but it’s not something he ever imagined he’d do. James Prichard is a member of Shakespeare Behind Bars, a theatre troupe based at the Luther Luckett Correctional Complex in LaGrange, Kentucky. That also means -- he’s incarcerated there.

Matt Wallace is the producing artistic director at Kentucky Shakespeare, which puts on the summer Shakespeare festival in Central Park along with outreach and education throughout the state. He also works with Shakespeare Behind Bars, where he directs an annual Shakespeare production with inmates at the Luther Luckett Correctional Complex in Oldham County. Plus, ask anyone about Matt Wallace, and they'll always mention how nice he is. (It's true, he really is.)
