Creating Freedom works with prisoners in correctional facilities to develop self-discipline, communications skills, confidence, empathy, and responsibility through the distinctions of The Science of Acting. We have been working for over a decade, providing astonishing outcomes in workshops and production projects ranging between 5 days to 10 weeks. Our work with prisoners provides skills that can be applied both within the bounds of their prison life, and for reintegration once they are released. 

The Science of Acting requires that the actor develop an awareness and understanding of themselves and others, and also imagination, discipline, dedication and sensitivity, adding up to a consciousness able and flexible enough to hold any thought of any character. It is a demanding and rigorous training providing insight on the human psyche. By developing  a deep understanding of the human thought process, participants are able to deconstruct their own thought processes and take responsibility for creating new thoughts and behavior patterns.

 

"You have achieved more with our men in two weeks than our team of

five psychiatrists have achieved in five years."

"The men involved have been much calmer, have not gotten involved in any incidents  and have all been much happier since the project"
