Lola, Sara, Shaun and Claire. Four completely different people all returning to life outside of prison at the same time, connected only through their probation officer. They each discover the difficulties and importance of relationships, housing, mental health and licensing on the outside world. Follow their journeys as they each attempt to go back to a normal life.... but what is normal?

This event is a panel discussion related to the online performance of 'Forty Six Pounds' which will be shared as a link to a website on Fri 7 May in the morning.

The performance stems from three months of deep research and engagement with Leeds based organisations WY-FI (Humankind) and Forward Leeds as well as people working to address stigma through the arts and creative interventions including Phil Pearce, Dalton Harrison and Kath Rowlands.

If you RSVP to this afternoon panel discussion you can join the creators, and partner organisations to discuss arts and criminal justice: the role of creative collaborations in establishing and deepening discussions about lived experiences of crime, incarceration, and managing life post release.

The project is part of Performance and Cultural Industries annual Collaborative Project that engages students with a live brief.

If you have any questions about the event or would like to request accommodations, please get in touch with Dr Ally Walsh: a.m.walsh1@leeds.ac.uk
