Prison Performing Arts
Prison Performing Arts involves incarcerated youth and adults in the performing arts to inspire intellectual curiosity and personal development. They nurture the discipline, teamwork and communication skills necessary for successful re-entry into society. PPA encourages members of the larger community to connect personally with program participants, offering continuing programs for participants who have been released.
City Block began supported PPA’s marketing efforts off-and-on from August 2018 through October 2021.
City Block’s work went beyond daily social media management; we strived to better understand the experiences of incarcerated youth and adults in PPA’s programs by attending shows and events hosted by the organization. In doing so, we gathered visual and written content to use on PPA’s website, social media profiles, and print materials. As audience members, whether on social media or at the shows themselves, we can all expand our perspectives on prison reform and incarceration from engaging with PPA.
Along with supporting the organization’s work, City Block managed PPA’s social media channels. Click the links below to see what they’ve been up to:
