What if we adopted a radically new culture of sharing, open participation and collective contribution for the advancement of the new works sector - focusing on outward advancement as opposed to inward or individual progress? How do we aggregate and amplify our current knowledge and information resources? How do we break out of our limited knowledge and geographic silos? What if we were to adopt the ethos and culture of the open-source technological communities in order to problem-solve collectively? Or the innovative practices of "mesh" businesses? Or the behavior of collective contributions found in Community Supported Agriculture? What are the implications for the theatre and its relevance in American culture? What are the current bright spots that demonstrate this new culture? How can we build on these current bright spots?
