“Expose to collaboration”: a way of making yourself vulnerable, opening yourself. Exposing yourself to collaboration. Something Turbo Pascal said during our roleplaying meeting, in the role of Yinzerspielen.

[...] to make our auditions as non-standard, as Yinzerspecific as we could. We wanted to figure out how we could craft an audition that would work for this very particular project. So, obviously, no monologues. Instead, we handed out [...]

Comment on “Reverse of Volume”: letting people in on both sides of the art by Patrick

This is awesome inspiration for how to give away too much and yet not too much. We need to do something like this for all out projects. We saw the entire exhibit but I want to see it in person because you know that it is totally different in the space. It is simple, clear, nor too many words. Lots of images, sets the tone of the show and exhibit. Wow. Love it.

Shared by Patrick – here’s an article about some open-source code platforms that can also open up the artistic process for observation and sharing: http://artinfo.com/news/story/805895/software-development-as-artistic-practice-how-open-source-is-changing-the-way-art-is-made

What are we auditioning?
The person. The skills. The creativity. Why they do art.
Hmmm. Let’s think about that an use as a guide for our process.

I like this as an inspiration for the description:
“This job will be sort of like being a community organizer at a non-profit. It combines elements of marketing, PR, and sales, but it’s really something different. I don’t expect that there are a lot of people out there who already kn0w how to do this well, so I’m going to train them, personally. Not that I know how to do this, but we’ll learn together. Every workday is going to start with a huddle at 9am and a plan for the day’s activities and an intensive six hours of work. Every workday is going to end with an hour of learning… reading Kawasaki and Godin and Ries and Trout, talking with invited experts, meeting with members of the community about what worked and what didn’t worked. Everyone who joins the program (and survives for a year) will come out with an almost supernatural ability to take a dead, lifeless site on the internet and make it into the hottest bar in town. That’s a skill worth learning for the 21st century.”

Or give them a text. Like a Mac Wellman, or an Elfriede Jelinek. Something with no characters. Without clear thruline. Non-linear. Tell them they can use the text however they want to create their audition – doesn’t need to use all the text – doesn’t need to use it in the order it’s written. Come back in 5 minutes. Or, email it to them the day before their audition, like a take-home test.

Give them a challenge – surprise them. See how they do with it. Like: Here is a sheet of paper. Your audition is to do something with this sheet of paper. Come back in 5 minutes.

Comment on The Yinzerspielen Whatifesto by yinzerspielen

Thinking about a Whatifesto 2012:
- Revisit last year’s doc. Push against some of the ideas raised there; generate new seed questions from last year’s “answers.”
