Telling My Story
Final Performance at Valley Vista Rehabilitation Center, Bradford, VT
7pm on Thursday, May 21st and Friday, May 22nd
Dear Friends,
We would like to extend an invitation for you to join the students of Dartmouth College’s WGST 66.5/MALS 364/ENGL 53.4 "Telling Stories for Social Change” along with the residents of Valley
Vista Rehabilitation Center, for a collaborative and original end of term performance.
This community-based learning course, co-taught by Pati Hernandez and Ivy Schweitzer, offers students the unique opportunity to study issues surrounding incarceration and addiction through
two distinct perspectives, theoretical and practical. Students have focused on the issues addicts face both inside and outside the rehabilitation center, while exploring facilitation with critical analysis and self-reflection on the effectiveness
of community-based learning and performance in rehabilitation. We would like you to join us in the culmination of this course – the creation and performance of an original production that focus on the voices of the Valley Vista residents.
The performance is scheduled for THURSDAY, MAY 21ST and FRIDAY, MAY 22ND at 7pm, located at the Valley Vista Rehabilitation Center in Bradford, VT. There will be
rides available from Hanover.
If you are interested see below for further details.
Saludos and much peace,
Pati Hernandez
