We can do it by taped 'phone conversations.  Bert Tanner and I once rehearsed 
with Carpetbag, on the way to Knoxville, in Kathie's truck in the driving rain 
with my cell 'phone on speaker.
I wouldn't advise it as a regular practice, but it makes a great scene, yeah?

        I love this idea, too, Paula.  Let's talk - I don't know how I can 
possibly schedule it in, but I'd love to try, along with Sheila.  ;  }  Eleanor

          Paula, this is a great idea. If I ever have any time, I’ll contribute 
in some way.

          Hope,

          You are marshalling together some important stuff; good returns on 
your hard work!

          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!

            Thanks Sheila! 

            I hadn't seen the piece by John O'Neal. Really helpful.

            Sorry about my careless spelling.

            Dear Hope,

            Sorry for tooting my own horn: You may want to look at my book, The 
Performer’s Guide to the Collaborative Process, for sources for some of the 
work we do.

            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.

            Dear RSC,

            I am in the midst of writing my thesis proposal about RSC learning 
Exchanges. I have a question. 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.
