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,

    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.
