Episode 1: Theatre for Racial Justice with White Folks Ft. Lolo Haha

Written By Meg Nimigon

This project used a mix of Theatre for Living and Process Work to create a space for white people to explore their internalized white supremacy and how that shows up for them in racial justice work. Leader of the project, Lolo Haha, walks us through the details and what he learned from his first experience facilitating a Forum Theatre exploration.

You don’t want to miss:

  • Key learnings from a first-timer and what he’d do differently

  • How to deal with fear and helping others ‘cross over the edge’ into discomfort

  • Becoming aware of our bias and how that plays out in the role of the Joker

  • The limitations of Forum Theatre and how we might build on this model to deepen dialogue
