Commons Collective: the art of listening again
Commons Collective, use devised theatre and performance making as a ‘site’ for the generation of collective cultural intelligence. Our view is that the process of decision making inherent in the creative projects is a rehearsal for active citizenship in the larger social world.
Collectively writing a script, blocking the actor’s movements on stage, choreographing the dance, figuring out the right angle for the projector and mapping the sound design onto the actor’s actions; all of these activities require a delicate dance of negotiation and power sharing between the individual and the collective. Through this process we learn to listen again both to ourselves and others.
