The Circle Project

An evolving collaboration of artists and formerly  incarcerated women dedicated to producing provocative art together.

What Fools These Mortals Be

An inventive retelling of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream performed as a series of tableau vivants (living pictures) by a group of formerly incarcerated women.

The project is a collaboration between The Circle Project and Vancouver artist Adad Hannah.

The Dreaming

The Dreaming is an interactive audio documentary that provides an intimate encounter with formerly incarcerated women as they recount their dreams.

The dreams were recorded during the production of What Fools These Mortals Be.

The Circle

The Circle is a creative documentation of a storytelling circle held in Vancouver with a group of formerly incarcerated women. Some had just been released and were living in halfway houses, some had been outside for several years, all had a story to tell.

Lockdown

Lockdown weaves zoom conversations with 6 formerly incarcerated women who offer advice on how to survive a lockdown. They put current government-imposed restrictions into perspective, and model how resilience, humour (and puppy love) can get us through this.
