This Forum Theatre 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. The leader of the project, Lolo Haha, walks us through the details and what he learned from his first experience facilitating a Forum Theatre process.

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