New members wrapping up CAMRU

I been thinking and I reckon we should think about inviting some new members to the group. Online is good but it would also be great to have some more peeps in welly. And I wonder whether we should just be quite open in who it is or select? And when we should start looking if we decide we do want to, cos what is our next project....what more do we want to do with the CAMRU info and would new people be interested in that or should we do collating etc ourselves and then invite new people to a new project?

My suggestions are that at the end of the show we do what we have done for the room sheets; ie document the responses and sort them into groups and condense them into an appropriate format. And then they could be made into a document or part of the kit or an online thing.

Then we look for new people who are interested in researching other collaborative structures, to move forward with the kit.

RE the kit; is this still something we want to do? Who do we think the audience is? How much information do we already have which we can use for it ? ( I think we have quite a lot and that we could use making the kit as a kind of debrief session which we had discussed before ie we could all write down what we think has worked well adn not so well in our group and this could start to form part of the kit.)

Personally I have to admit I am all about the art. I am not that interested in going to talk to other groups about thier structures. i am interested in collaboration in an art context and how it works in terms of authorship, ownership, how the magic still gets to happen which so often happens in solitary confinement of the studio........why collaboration is currently important / trendy / contemporary..............all that kind of stuff. Perhaps we would be able to look at areas which interest each of us?

But I do think we have a lot of info already which we haven't put down in terms of how the process has worked for us which we could start by using.

Hmm. What do others think?!
