Our Staging Recovery ensemble celebrated their 10th birthday today with a shared lunch, some poetry, the premiere of a new film and a q&a session. It was a beautiful thing.

Great day spent thinking strategy with our SMT and Board. Generous conversations exploring the challenges of #artsinCJS but all full of optimism and hope.

Tomorrow!

Still time to book onto our training course, taking place in London, next week.

Well, we thought we’d been busy in the last few months so just checked and it’s true: since January 2025 we’ve delivered 26 projects in 16 different prisons. #prisontheatre #artscjs #appliedtheatre

Kate, thanks for the lovely response. Maybe one day…. Or maybe we could come to you?!

Still some places left on our training course, exploring our use of theatre and drama in criminal justice settings. For more information or to book your place: www.geese.co.uk/what-we-do/t... #artsincjs #appliedtheatre #prisontheatre #training

Our three-day training course on Geese's use of theatre and drama in criminal justice contexts is coming to London in March. More details: www.geese.co.uk/what-we-do/the-other-side-of-the-wall/

#ChairWanted ⭐️ We’re very sad that the wonderful Jane Anderson is coming to the end of her tenure as #Chair; we’re looking for someone equally brilliant and inspiring to join us. Could it be your time to shine?! The Chair plays an important role as a figurehead & leader

Busy start to 2025 with great projects in HMPs Pentonville, Berwyn, Whatton, Aylesbury, Rye Hill, Leeds and Wealstun. #prisontheatre

Our three-day training course, The Other Side of the Wall, is now available to book. Taking place in London, with a maximum of 10 participants, this is the perfect course for those interested in developing theatre and drama skills for use in criminal justice settings. www.geese.co.uk/what-we-do/t...

We are delighted to announce the return of our three-day training course, The Other Side of the Wall. It will take place in London in March 2025 and with only ten places available is likely to sell-out quickly. More information and booking details: www.geese.co.uk/what-we-do/t... #prisontheatre

Just under one week before the deadline for our current round of recruitment. A simple online application form and a self-tape monologue (script provided.) Deadline is 6th January 2025 at 9am. Application pack can be downloaded from: www.geese.co.uk/news/we-are-...

Happy New Year - Happy New Job?

Life inside a therapeutic prison: ‘Look, we’ve done some terrible things ...’ At pioneering HMP Grendon, a range of psychology professionals aim to ‘re-child’ some of Britain’s most serious offenders in relatively relaxed conditions. Does the treatment work?

For those of us who deliver creative projects in prisons, hospitals, approved premises, recovery centres and spaces supporting people experiencing homelessness, presumably Lisa Nandy's comment yesterday that "Arts and culture must be for everyone, everywhere" is a positive sign?

We are recruiting and we have an online Q+A session on Wednesday 18th December at 1pm if you want more info about the role - sign up here: www.geese.co.uk/forms/recrui... and/or download the application pack here: www.geese.co.uk/news/we-are-... #vacancy #recruitment #prisontheatre #appliedtheatre
