For the past 10 years Seattle-based choreographer Pat Graney has directed “Keeping the Faith” at the Washington State Women’s Correctional Facility. The project provides participants with rare opportunities for self-expression and group cooperation, apparently serving the prison’s stated goal of rehabilitation; but it also offers possibilities for transgression as it extends freedom of movement to highly regulated bodies.
