Dear SaturdayHouse, Spiriata, & assorted company, I'm making a trip to Bucketworks, and I'm inviting YOU to come with me!
Weekend April 17-19. Milwaukee, WI "What's so exciting about Bucketworks?" Bucketworks is something like Saturday House, and holds a very strong focus on **collaborative action,** which they carry through to reality. It's really inspiring! "Our mission is to provide a supportive and connecting environment for members of the art, theatre, dance, business, technology, and leadership communities." http://www.bucketworks.org/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bucketworks http://www.bucketworks.org/concepts http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_School_Factory If you're interested in learning how to organize events and gather people together for action, this is sure to be a valuable trip. The Bucketworks staff are eager to answer questions about how to engage people and get things moving. They've done it themselves, and know what's what. On the first night (Friday night,) we'll be having dinner with Jenn Turner ([email protected],) who is Co-Director of Bucketworks. Then she'll be showing us the space and introducing us to people the following two days. http://www.bucketworks.org/blogs/jenn-turner http://twitter.com/jennaddenda Room & board & transport provided by Ted Ernst and Regula at no cost. My own round trip tickets was ~$350. There are no other costs than airfare, basically. I'm sure donations would be graciously accepted. Absolutely Definitely Must DO LET ME KNOW if you're coming.
