PATRICIA
How,
and when, has etiquette played a critical role within our collaborative environment?
At
every meeting.
Which
key factors have affected the social behaviour of those within the
group?
Barriers
lessening through laughter and familiarity. Negotiations that are
deeply acted out, subtleties in changes of thinking.
At
any one time, has etiquette been crucial to a memorable situation?
The
point at which we decided that we knew that the act of meeting (as a
group), and the conversations/narrative that sprung from the group
was the body of our purpose/our aim.
What
would constitute as bad manners?
Domination
of the listening space by one or too few people.
What
behaviour is prohibited within our collective?
To
insult someone, it has never been discussed but I would dearly hope
that it never happens.
What
rule/s would you like to see implemented within the social behaviour
of the group?
That's
a hard question. Total equality and respect for other peoples work.
Have
any rituals become cemented within the etiquette of our meetings?
Yes,
me saying it is week 16 for example. The making of drinks prior to
the meeting. The ebbing down of the meeting after the main point of
discussion debate, digression...
With
creative freedom, how would you describe this collaborative act?
Intellectual
buzz, having the freedom to move ideas in and out of your/my head and
sharing the consequence.
KATE
How,
and when, has etiquette played a critical role within our
collaborative environment?
At
first, when we're less familiar one another, but etiquette is general
good manners? Ceremony
Etiquette
= good manners + socially a little unfamiliar?
Which
key factors have affected the social behaviour of those within the
group?
Familiarity
( increasingly familiarity, less to explain, more at ease)
What
would constitute as bad manners?
Not
listening.
What
rule/s would you like to see implemented within the social behaviour
of the group?
I
think that we are pretty much self regulating.
Have
any rituals become cemented within the etiquette of our meetings?
Tea
+ talk.
With
creative freedom, how would you describe this collaborative act?
Its
growing – like sweet peas or something up a frame. That's a
framework. It continues to be mutable but it's fairly firm +
solid. Providing shelter and the framework support for umpteen ideas
and projects. Flourishing non pejorative. Seems to be (getting)
established, the plant life is taking root. Abundant blossoming,
blooming *flourishing*
CRESSIDA
How,
and when, has etiquette played a critical role within our
collaborative environment?
Etiquette
has a resonance of 'niceness', but I feel general common decency is
probably key. It
always
plays a role.
Which
key factors have affected the social behaviour of those within the
group?
When
there hasn't been an accord, social behaviour has been 'peeked'.
At
any one time, has etiquette been crucial to a memorable situation?
Yes
What
would constitute as bad manners?
Not
allowing others the right to differ, or express their opinions.
What
behaviour is prohibited within our collective?
Slander,
rudeness, ridicule.
What
rule/s would you like to see implemented within the social behaviour
of the group?
a)
Listen
b)
Allow freedom of error.
Have
any rituals become cemented within the etiquette of our meetings?
Hard
to say.
With
creative freedom, how would you describe this collaborative act?
We're
like the constituent parts of a functioning machine. A lumbering one,
but a functioning one. I'm not so sure as to its purpose yet though.
MATT
How,
and when, has etiquette played a critical role within our
collaborative environment?
It
plays a role on all occasions, but more so in the beginning. As the
group becomes more familiar
etiquette
will become less prevalent. There is a kind of British issue with not
wanting to offend,
this
definitely happens during the meetings. Etiquette can stand in the
way of criticality which will
become
a problem given the nature of what we are doing.
Which
key factors have affected the social behaviour of those within the
group?
As
we have become more familiar our behaviours have changed.
Collaborative practise has struck
me
as a big factor for some as they haven’t worked in that way
previously. Similarly some of the
ideas
have played a similar role in shaking thing up.
At
any one time, has etiquette been crucial to a memorable situation?
Nothing
really stands out for me, It will be an interesting occasion when
etiquette gets thrown out
of
the window and one of us offends someone.
What
would constitute as bad manners?
Claiming
something created as part of the collaboration as the property of an
individual.
What
behaviour is prohibited within our collective?
Most
things are fair game. What would be prohibited is not
respecting/prohibiting other participants right to play an equal part
in the collective should they choose to exercise that right.
But
this issue could also be explored through the collective, it would
have to be done in an open
manner
as a creative act exploring the prohibited behavior.
What
rule/s would you like to see implemented within the social behaviour
of the group?
I
would like to see shifting rules, a rule ruling that no rules are
permanent.
Have
any rituals become cemented within the etiquette of our meetings?
Meeting
in the space, Patricia announcing the week, being seated, circular
seating arrangement.
With
ultimate creative freedom, what analogy would you use to best
describe this collaborative
act?

LAURA
How,
and when, has etiquette played a critical role within our
collaborative environment?
o Our
initial use of etiquette was used tactically to reveal common ground
that would ensure our desired outcome – to work together
o It was key
in creating a space that people trusted – learned westernised
protocol became the familiar language that teased out similarities
and displayed familiar clues that didn’t alienate
o In no
grand way it started with a common civility that we responded to
o In a base
animal way we showed we meant no harm to each other [!?]
o We then
expanded on this in a more sophisticated way to show how
communication between us might enhance
o This
behaviour acted as a familiar glue to hold the instabilities of
people feeling their way into a situation
