Sheila's book is exemplary in citing sources. I sometimes do a workshop on nothing but source-defining and credit-giving for organizations. Her book has been an eye-opener for many. Thank you Hope, Sheila, Kathie, Bob. I'm gathering ideas for performance pieces that fully explain RSC and Alternate ROOTS. Multi-disciplinary performance pieces. Any takers on co-writing these? Yeah. Living bibliography through performance! Paula Paula A.

I hadn't seen the piece by John O'Neal. Really helpful. Sorry about my careless spelling.

Story Circles also come from John O'Neal; He has written a piece about them. http://www.racematters.org/storycircleprocess.htm Liz Lerman's Critical Response Process is a part of ROOTS, although RSC may not use it all the time. http://www.danceexchange.org/performance/criticalresponse.html I would look at some of Nayo Watkins' writing on RSC work and other work she did, including the Alternate ROOTS Resources for Social Change Handbook. Also, Bob Leonard's Building Arts and Community Partnerships Work Kit.

Can we (facilitators who have used them) name the sources used for the exercises/activities utilized in the LE's. I have this short list. Will people add on to it? Augusta Boal, Story Circles as developed by Roadside Theater, Building Arts and Community Partnerships: A Work Kit,Training for Change. I am using Paula Friere "Pedagogy of the Oppressed" as the conceptual framework and articles for the Literature Review - a couple are:Community Change for Diverse Democracy(2007) by Barry Checkoway the founding Director of the Centre for Community Service and Learning, and Coaching Leadership Learning Through Partnership (2009) by Jan Robertson at the London Center for Leadership and Learning. (They are attached) Checkoway distinguishes really clearly the difference betweenMonoculturalchange, Pluralistic change and Multicultural change. He describes advanced ideas of democracy where "lasting change comes from a core group of people who make contact with others who share common concerns and work together over time." Robertson's article was published last month and has some very helpful comments on leadership contrasting the climate of market driven public policies with what she describes as "knowledge through coaching, networking and professional learning communities". I have been reading articles from the websites of Animating Democracy, CAN, at SIAP, the Urban Institute, and other academic journals - community psychology sparking my interest, but please let me know if there is something you think would be good to look at. many thanks.
