Imogene Williams: Land Of the Free

Land of the Free is a dance-theater performance by Imogene Williams rooted in her family’s lived experience with long-term incarceration. Through movement, voice, and shared presence, the work explores how systems of punishment shape families, memory, and the meaning of freedom over time. Rather than reenactment, Land of the Free offers a space for witnessing—centering resilience, care, and the labor of loving someone inside a carceral system. The performance is followed by a facilitated community talkback with Freedom Agenda, H.O.L.L.A, and Drama Club, organizations working toward justice, healing, and creative alternatives to incarceration. This event is intentionally family-friendly. Children and young people are welcome, with care built into the experience, including space for movement, reflection, and stepping out as needed. Land of the Free invites audiences to gather across generations to reflect, listen, and imagine more humane futures together.
