Alt ROOTS – RSC conf call
December 14, 2007 @ 4:30pm
On the call: Kathie deNobriga, Hope Clark, Stephen Clapp & Gwylene
Gallimard.
1.) Declarations
Is the information useful? What is next step?
Needs:
More context about why we’re asking these questions.
Address why we are asking these questions and what is the next step.
Process was that we first invite those who were at the recent RSC
meeting for first round. Next round of declarations is to be open
to entire ROOTS membership - for everyone to be invited.
1st question: Instead of explaining your experience, asking people
to “describe a specific community project.” Purpose of this
question is to get more info about how people engage with community
instead of a list of what people have done.
2nd question: Re-write this question about guiding principles to be
directed more specifically towards community based work.
Additional question: Why are you interested in RSC?
2.) Dates of Exchange:
Weekend of April 11, 2008 in Atlanta
Based on responses via email from: Carleton, Gwylene, Luisa Beire,
Patton, Kathie, Laura, Stephen. FYI - There is a budget for travel.
3.) C/APP
Hope to call Carlton re: C/APP - also ask for deadline for next
ROOTS Journal.
4.) Future is on the Table
Involve artists from different places – visual art project. “Water
& Shelter.” Artists participating in project are coming to
Charleston. Group of observers - diverse people to look at the
process in how it has been working, with their own relationship to
the project – also to organize the closing weekend.
Opening on: September 13, 2008
Closing on: October 25, 2008
Also, asking Alice Lovelace to participate in the project as an RSC
member. Q: Is Alice Lovelace a member of RSC still or not? -
Note: we (RSC) have not yet offered her [along with the rest of
the general membership and/or past active RSC members] the
opportunity to declare, even though her participation has been
active in the past. Q: Can Gwylene ask Alice to participate as an
RSC facilitator? Also, what does it mean for this project (or any
project) to be an RSC project? Would it be possible to have one
artist as an RSC mentor (a “senior” member? – someone who has been
involved in RSC for a long time) and an RSC apprentice (a “newer”
member) who participates in the project as well. Gwylene wants to
involve Alice because of prior relationships. Gwylene’s concern is
that Alice has not recently participated in RSC. *General consensus
on the call for Gwylene to more forward in a partnership with Alice
and dialogue with her about her relationship and involvement with RSC.
5.) Spellman Project
Kathie deNobriga asked by Spellman for this project – she is not
available that weekend. Opened to larger membership. How do we
prepare “new” RSC folks for this work? This project at Spellman
may be a good opportunity for “new” RSM members.
Spellman dates: Jan 23 & Jan 30.
