You're welcome, Diane.

Indeed.

I think the very form and content of this ongoing OSLIST conversation keeps
out those who don't have an abiding interest in it.

Yup.  In 5 years you'll look back at the technological ox-cart phase in
which we are now, in amazement and wonder.  Sheesh, such hype!

Oh, actually, I really enjoyed the participation and input.  For me, this
was an experiment in Open Space, electronically.  While this forum has been
used mainly for exchanging stories and ideas, we could probably also use it
in other ways

Best,

Peter-- I appreciate your making and sharing this connection between OST and
Playback Theater. Our Regional ODN group was privileged to have the AZ
Playback Theater Group do one of our monthly programs with one of our
colleagues last year. At the time I was struck by the power of it, and yet
didn't make the connection to open space. I see it now. And I would use
Playback Theater as a part of an event or process, surrounded by open,
interactive dialogue so that the audience is actively engaged. I know I have a
lot more thinking and learning to do about how to join the spirit of
participative design (OST and others) with something as powerful as Playback
Theater.

Thanks for getting the creative juices flowing --BJ
