7 TIME WELL SPENT Never being afraid to ask questions, and trying to stay one step ahead of potential difficulties, contribute towards a successful project. Giving both staff and participants the support and encouragement needed to help deliver a smooth - running project and a positive personal experience validates why the project was conceived in the first place. ITT Project Team The range of challenges presented by the vulnerability of the participants, the logistics and practicalities of the production, and its impact on the prison regime and its staff are formidable. Acknowledging and understanding the key factors of these challenges are part of the Trust’s approach to working with and working through them. RESISTANCE We can get no eye contact with some of them, which is fine because we know we’ll get there. Others are up for asking questions all the time.

(Fair 2005) Excerpt from the Project Team diary (Fair 2005) OBSTACLES The final week proved to be extremely difficult as, due to lockdowns, the artistic team were only able to work for five out of the twelve planned hours.

(All in My Century 2000) Key factors: • Resistance • Obstacles • Failures • Commitment
