Releasing the Incarcerated Voice Through Memory, Imagination, and Dialogue
Presented by Rochelle Duffy, Ph.D.
This reading performance is the product of Dr. Duffy's work in family
mythology and self-discovery. Beginning with the question "What was it like for you to be part of our family?", she collected oral histories from her
seventeen siblings and turned them into first person narratives. These
memories are stitched into a dialogue between one incarcerated brother and a
silenced sister. Dr. Duffy's work demonstrates both the power of memory and dream to ignite voice and transform spirit, as expressed in her reading
performance of Prison Is Where I Learned to Fly: Shelley's Sibliography.
Rochelle Duffy, Ph.D., holds a doctorate in Mythological Studies with emphasis in Depth Psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute. She has taught in both public and private schools for twenty-five years. Now retired, she is editing her book Prison Is Where I Learned to Fly: Shelley’s Sibliography.
