wee keep company is a space and a commitment to collaborative process, organized by a family of thinkers and makers: Rachel Anderson-Rabern (Theatre), Atticus Rabern (Games) and Alf Rabern (Legos). Our interests in experiencing and facilitating collaborative creative practice, motivates our on-going development of an arts and thinking space that we can enjoy and also offer to others. As our space takes shape, we cultivate and revise a collection of values. Here are some of them:
|
- Research is creative
- Theatre-making and other embodied practices are forms of thinking
- It can be very productive to kindly disagree
- Doing the same thing at the same time isn't the only way, or necessarily the best way, to collaborate
- Freely given laughter and dance bring great joy
- Yurts
- Compassion
- Cats
- It is very good to seek out playfulness
- We all play in different ways
