Red Emma’s

All children encounter situations that make them feel confused and uncomfortable. Sometimes they don’t know how to move through a complex conflict with a friend, or how to respond when they see or experience bullying. That’s why kids need safe spaces to process, reflect, and reimagine the uncomfortable and challenging situations they encounter.

We use the interactive and participatory roleplaying technique of Augusto Boal’s Forum Theatre to empower kids to troubleshoot issues they are having in their lives and foster their capacity to recognize and respond to these moments with more certainty. ——— Adults are welcome to drop-off their registered youth(s) once they are checked in or stick around upstairs in Red Emma’s. Our group meeting is a snack-free space, so please plan accordingly. KRUST is a special collaboration between Matt Schultz of The Social Forest and Bmore Transform.
