Stepping out & Welcome Melanie to Pelican Bay State Prison!

Dell'Arte International graduate Melanie Schauwecker will be joining the faculty of Dell'Arte's prison program this fall to replace me (waaaaaahhhhh!!!!!) AND I am extremely excited about what she will bring (cuz I know she will bring it!)

Congratulations and welcome Melanie.

I have pulled out of the program in order to make time in my life for my father, who has cancer, but I look forward to exploring new ways of supporting incarcerated people's and newly returned citizens while spending time with my dad in Socal.

One AMAZING organization doing this good work is the Anti-Recidivism Coalition, or ARC, based in Los Angeles.
