Hear from Clean Break’s Young Artists about their experience on the programme and how they express their creativity.

Over the last year women in prison have become more invisible than ever. During lockdown women in prison have been locked in cells for up to 23 hours a day with visitation and education programmes suspended. Voices from Prison is a creative writing project inviting women from all 12 women’s prisons to create work in this moment, amplify their words and let their experiences be heard. Inspired by the original project directed by Ann Mitchell in 1987, which gave Clean Break its first platform at the RSC, Voices from Prison will be brought into the present, hearing from women about life during Covid, life in prison and hope. This film celebrates 10 of the pieces performed by our Members Lisa-Marie Ashworth, Funke Adeleke, Jennifer Joseph, Shona Babayemi and Gemskii.

12 Minutes is a satellite film, a remote virtual experience heralding ’12 Hours’, the live performance marathon for voice and electronics.

12 Minutes uses the binaural version of King’s Audio Technology which has recently been developed by Professor Zoran Cvetkovic (King’s College London), Dr Enzo da Sena (University of Surrey) and Professor Huseyin Hacihabiboglu (METU) with support from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council, UK. The technology enables creating unprecedented high-quality dynamic soundscapes in real time, for large scale interactive installations for freely moving audiences.
