Hello Spark -
It was my pleasure to work with Leslie and to facilitate the Dance/USA
event. We did a few small things around note taking and at closing circle to
both 'move with the flow' and harvest individual responses. One of my
personal experiences holding space for this group was that Open Space served
as a 'self choreographed' (and felt and looked that way in the room)
activity and suited the vast majority of the group quite well!
I would be happy to share more details if you think it would serve, you can
email me off list: heidi at nobantu.com
Warmly,
Heidi

Hi Spark,
An organization called Dance/USA did a one-day Open Space on the topic of "
<http://www.danceusa.org/2009winterforum> Human Resources and Organizational
Performance" with a group of 125 dance professionals in the US. Some of the
attendees were dancers and choreographers, but the majority of them were
dance administrators, such as executive directors, operations and finance
managers, and marketing staff of dance companies, presenters of dance and
dance service organizations. The Book of Proceedings and the photo gallery
from the event (held in a dance space in NYC on January 31, 2009) can be
found here:
http://www.danceusa.org/pastprofessionaldevelopmentevents.
Hope this is helpful. I'd be happy to talk about how we carried out the
event - from getting buy-in of Dance/USA to try OST instead of their usual
conference methods through the closing circle of the OS day and sending out
the Book of Proceedings.
Cheers,
Leslie Zucker

Hi spark,
I work with a group of people here in Minnesota that work for a state art
agency called Perpich Center for Art Education. Your email immediately made
me think of them and some of the work they do working with artists and
dancers in particular. We use some descriptive protocols to capture what
people see and what that could mean. The program was designed for teachers
to develop more artful teaching practices but I think you may find it to be
relevant to your needs. The process is totally descriptive so no ego
problems. Here is a link to their website which describes some of the work
they are doing
http://opd.mpls.k12.mn.us/Perpich_Center_for_Arts_Education_Artful_Online.ht
ml. The protocols are in the Artful Teaching and Learning book which you
can access through the site. As luck would have it one of their peer
coaches is in Seoul teaching for the coming year. She is very skilled and
could possibly help you become familiar with the process and how it could
help you in your need. Her name is Lisa Thompson and her email is

To clarify this is not a variation of OST. It is a way to describe,
formulate questions, uncover personal responses, discover connections and
speculate about what is present. Judgement is easily threshed from the seed
of experience and yet there is space for personal responses as well. Lisa
is very skilled and an all around lovely person.
Hope that is is possible for you to connect.

We'd like to find ways of capturing conversations (recording ideas) during
breakout sessions of OS event held for professional dancers and people
concerned with dancing.
One of our OS friends and we had decided to start staging a series of 4 OS
events that might help people concerned with future of Dancers and Dancing
discover what they think in common, find workable ideas, and make decisions
on their best move into future.
We finished the first OS last Saturday and found reports were rather less
than what they conversed. At least this was what were expressed by
sponsoring group.
In fact this might be prematured judgment on the 1st try of open dialog
among those who care about their better future.
It seems that egos of those are supposed to lead/support the dancers to find
answers for themselves were discouraging dancers.
Regardless my gut feeling on this, we'd love to know various report writing
approaches that enhance writing as well as other ways of capturing dialogs
although the event was recorded on a videotape.
Appreciatively,
Spark
