NETneXt Digital Peer Exchange Event
How can we engage with and care for each other during the NETneXt national process, and beyond? As ensemble members and collaborative artists, we all have practices and ways of communicating. What are our shared expectations and commitments when we gather as a NET community? What should they be?
In this first community agreement Circle-Up, we’ll start to develop collective language through peer-based knowledge exchange, listening, and learning. This will be an active work session to share and collect examples of community and collaboration agreements from the NET membership. Please bring your own offerings, lived experiences, and curiosities.
Co-facilitated by NETneXt Bridge Ensemble members: Severin Blake, Todd London, Alexandra Meda, Denise Uyehara
