Dear Hope,
Spelling: Augusto Boal and Paolo Freire
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.
Best,

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.
