Pre-show: Organization

About, Proposals, Dramaturgy, Organization, Main

Although a few of us had met in the Spring and Summer, the group really coalesced in the Fall. We met weekly and planned how we would structure the performance around the four scenes (which could be lead by any member and joined by any members, although I helped suggest ideas, technology and participants) and began creating text, video and other media. Scenes met independently and reported back to the group in the Monday meetings.

BLOG: Soon after the initial meeting I set up at http://performancegroupmd.tripod.com/blog for the DPG project. We all had access and used the blog to organize, help us work through our ideas and show sample media and written content. I also used the blog to document meeting and scene progress. Most of the organizational data and some evidence of group process can be seen on the Blog.
