Scenario

When collaborative creative groups become territorial near completion

Our theater company has been devising this piece collectively for six months and we've created something beautiful, but now that we're getting close to performance, everyone's getting protective of their contributions and we're losing the collaborative spirit that made the work good in the first place. We're all acting like editors instead of ensemble members.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The vulnerability required for true collaboration gives way to self-protection as stakes rise.
