WHAT: Collaboration CO- LABORE: the dictionary says that it means laboring together toward a common goal. This workshop will explore the goals, styles and expectations around collaborations. Chris and B.J. both collaborate for a living, making original and adaptations of text with youth. We will set up models and anti-models of collaborative groups and identify the tensions and roles within them. Next, we wil! l form collaborative groups and arm them with a modest set of ground rules, a composition list, a box of materials, and turn them loose to create a 3-5 minute performance, the style of which will be chosen from a menu including: performance art, experimental performance, performance for the White House, a childrens theater school tour, a parade, etc. WHO: This workshop will benefit those who wish to collaborate artistically, educationally, politically and across disciplines. The part! icipants will be able to identify some of the inevitable frictions that develop in the course of collaboration, and to discover some options for response to those frictions.
