Community Works’ (CW) Arts and Restorative
Justice program presents an original theater
production, Man. Alive. from the edge
of incarceration to the flight of imagination,
a collaboration of community and professional
artists that include Ivan Corado, Reggie Daniels,
Freddy Gutierrez, and Antonio Johnson and co-directors
Amie Dowling, Paul S. Flores, and Natalie Greene.
Man. Alive. explores the memories
and imaginations of four men (three ex-offenders)
who meet in San Francisco County Jail where
they struggle with violence, addiction, and
institutionalization and dream of the possibility
of change. Man. Alive. is an artistic
collaboration, written and designed by the performers.
Through theater, movement and spoken word the
performers stories are woven together with the
experiences of other ensemble members, and crafted
into a whole. Man. Alive. explores
issues of identity, fatherhood, incarceration,
community, and redemption. In a culture where
the incarcerated are buried and their voices
suppressed, Man. Alive. is a venue
that provides audiences an opportunity to hear
the experiences and ideas of people whose stories
are rarely told.
Man. Alive. is a project of Community
Works (CW). CW is a non-profit whose mission
is to engage youth and adults in arts and education
programs that interrupt and heal the far-reaching
impact of incarceration and violence by empowering
individuals, families and communities. Implicit
in our mission is the conviction that the arts
have a vital role to play in reengaging and
strengthening our communities. The Arts and
Restorative Justice Program of CW is deeply
committed to creating programs and finding public
venues where ex-offenders can interact and reconnect
in fellowship with the community.
The production runs a little over an hour,
with a Q&A after that last about 45 minutes.
There is no intermission.
