When theater collectives struggle with true collaborative decision-making

Our theater collective has been devising work together for two years but we've developed this dynamic where the same three people always end up making the final decisions and the rest of us just go along with it. We all joined because we wanted collaborative creation but somehow we've recreated exactly the hierarchies we were trying to avoid.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The ideals of collective creation dissolve into familiar power patterns when the pressure of actually making something forces someone to decide.
