Organizations Filed Purposes:
As a social justice theatre company founded on the understanding that the most essential component of a healthy individual is the creative spirit, Red Ladder exists to connect our most vulnerable community members with their own creativity - igniting their imaginations and amplifying their voices - empowering them to tell their own stories.
Arts in CorrectionsRed Ladder Theatre Company serves both youth and adults experiencing incarceration, with great success. These participants have often grappled with multiple and inter-related issues such as substance abuse, literacy and language barriers, employment challenges, troubled or abusive home lives, housing instability and the like, and often lack the resources to aid them in their efforts to positively affect their own circumstances. Through restorative justice techniques and Red Ladders focus on creative collaboration in an atmosphere free from judgement, participants impacted by the carceral system are able to visualize opportunities, imagine positive outcomes, and discover within themselves the strength to transform their dreams into reality.
Community Enrichment ProgramsRed Ladder provides creative engagement opportunities to a wide range of groups within the community from seniors in our Japantown neighborhood to veterans and their families, neuro-atypical youth and adults or children in the foster system. Through meaningful community partnerships with service agencies who work with these individuals on a daily basis Red Ladder works collaboratively to make sure that the needs of our participants are being met, and they have the support required to achieve long-term, lasting and meaningful skill development.
Professional DevelopmentRed Ladder provides professional development workshops for artists and educators. Hundreds of individuals have been trained through workshops that the company has led at conferences such as the Marion Cilker Conference for Arts Education (The Arts Really Teach), the Arts in Your Classroom Conference at Montalvo Arts Center, CCSESAs Creativity at the Core Summer Institute, the One Theatre World (OTW) conference, as well as through the Santa Clara County Office of Educations Artspiration initiative, in addition to workshops that the company has offered directly to participants. As part of this training, the company has developed a theatre arts activities handbook for use by other practitioners.
