Decarceration One Dance at a Time In 2022 we are activating deep conversations about prison systems change on a national scale.
The culminating work in our trilogy, APPARATUS OF REPAIR, will premiere in San Francisco, then tour nationwide. Led by and engaging people directly impacted by incarceration, REPAIR brings focus to the concept of restorative justice—a process that causes less damage and holds more hope than the current criminal legal system.
REPAIR is a multidimensional approach to prison abolition. Flyaway is creating restorative justice circles rooted in safety, compassion, and honesty. We are bringing survivors of harm and people responsible for harm into shared space. These circles will become a springboard for an arts driven investment in alternatives to caging and prisons. The project is survivor centered, exploring the complex territory of accountability for violence. Choreography will invoke physical risk via the body in flight, and as a metaphor for risking new ways to think about justice. |
