Entering the Matrix

This is a copy of my literary matrix. this was a method we used to organised the topics and scores fro our data. It was extremely helpful in trying to narrow my thesis.

Main Idea 1



How do you work with community
Exercising your role as a member in the community first. (Artist entertain, Provoke thought, provide space for expression) Implementing your roll in the community, regardless of artistic skill.
“We look for ways to Get involved in Community identity formation.” Also, talk to work with the artist in your community

You are aesthetically helpful and pleasing to the community. As an artist you supplement, not replace the art that was currently flourishing in said community.  “What made it a community was not magic, but labor… if your aesthetic process is open to that community, your work will not be superfluous. Your work might be useful.
Culturally structure and reinvent a community. Build on or add to the already social aspects of community. “ community cultural development work is inevitably a responds to current social condition.”



Main idea 2
How many artist are active in communities that are not their own


America is a place full with refugees, artist migrate to different communities all the time.
Artist travel to other communities to create and use other ideas from that communitie. Artist in residence move for influence and inspiration. From 1999 through 2002, Liz Lerman Dance Exchange conducted Hallelujah, an unprecedented initiative in community-based artmaking and contemporary dance that directly engaged over 1000 participants in 15 U.S. communities from Deer Isle, Maine to Los Angeles, California.








Main idea 4
How does community work influence artistic work.





"I grew up in the ’50s in Kansas City during segregation, and the black community was very strong and very much connected. 
That was important to me. It is about a community coming together to create."
Main idea 5
reciprocity







I’m a product of the Black Arts movement, which talked about that art is in relationship to the black community, so that was very much a part of it. I was very influenced by liberation theology.
