Staging Prison Theatre in Canada: Setting the Spotlight on William Head on Stage delves into the story of WHoS through the voices of the men involved, offering a unique criminological perspective that situates their experiences within the prison context. The analysis explores how WHoS creates an alternative space within the social and emotional realities of incarceration. By unlocking participants? capacities, skills, and confidence, the initiative fosters a sense of agency and community both inside the prison and beyond. WHoS becomes a space for transformation, offering men opportunities to re-imagine themselves and build meaningful connections. This work underscores the broader significance of arts-based initiatives like WHoS, not only within prisons but also in the fields of criminology, theatre, and community engagement. It offers valuable insights for correctional administrators, criminologists, theatre practitioners, scholars, students, and anyone interested in the intersection of art and rehabilitation."--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aSOCIAL SCIENCE / Criminology$2bisacsh 608 $aElectronic books. 610 $aArts-Based Initiatives. 610 $aCanadian Prison Arts. 610 $aCommunity Engagement in Prisons. 610 $aCriminology and Theatre. 610 $aInmate Arts Programs. 610 $aPrison Rehabilitation. 610 $aPrison Theatre. 610 $aRehabilitation through Arts. 610 $aSocial Impact of Theatre. 610 $aTheatre in Incarceration. 610 $aTransformative Justice. 610 $aWilliam Head on Stage. 615 7$aSOCIAL SCIENCE / Criminology. 676 $a365/.668 700 $aRidha$b Thana, $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01817497 702 $aFrigon$b Sylvie, $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aLuther$b Jeni, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 702 $aRubin$b Kate, $4ctb$4https://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctb 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910988384303321 996 $aStaging Prison Theatre in Canada$94375767 997 $aUNINA
