Online Tools
Here are some of the online tools we use in our interactive exchanges.
We could not do without them, as they add an extra dimension to interactive
coaching in the performing arts. Feel free to browse!
The Bulletin Board is a chronicle of some of our most
exciting exchanges. You'll need to look back over the past year or so
to read some
of them.
Of particular interest are the exchanges among Chris Aiken's contact improv
students. Their concerns help define the interactive medium itself, while
addressing issues of live performance.
In the late spring of 2003, we worked on an innovative
model for coaching writing for the theatre. This series of exchanges,
among IB students
at Southwest High School [Minneapolis, MN] and drama students at Southern
New Jersey Academy for Performing Arts, is documented on the Bulletin
Board, too. Start reading at the bottom of each exchange of
letters -- the "thread" begins there. It ends at the top with
something like a finished script. In between letters, students improvised
together over some 1500 miles!
Anoher way to learn about the interactive model TPL uses
in coaching performance is to look at the TIPS.
This archive is far from complete, but the ideas
you can find here will hopefully lead you to new ways of using interactivity
in the performng arts. This link will soon be active.
Our calendar of events and chat have yet to be activated.
