Thanks, y'all.  Between the two of you, we have a good start on a good 
bibliography.  ;  }  Eleanor B


Crush defeatism! 
Insist on joy in spite of everything. 
Dream of a world without need. 
Together we are stronger than greed and fear.
YES, WE CAN!

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.
