manifesto of the Strata Collective

Chicken, egg : We believe a vital ingredient for high quality as we lead and create inspirational arts and events, is to regularly and sustainably address our own inspirational needs.

Caring, sharing : As freelance artists and facilitators we value opportunities for peer support, sharing ideas and creative growth.

Access : We assert our right to roam.

Clarity : We value clear thought and clear processes.

Curiosity : If there is a hole, we will look into it.

Pragmatism : We claim the right to travel from A to B by the route that reveals itself. 

Keep connected : We aim to investigate innovative new approaches to project planning and evaluation :

●       We strive to be paper free wherever possible .We value sound, image, experience.

●       We believe that ideas grow on trees. To follow this, we intend whenever possible to hold our meetings al fresco, preferably in a environment linked to the subject of the meeting, on the hoof, or- in the nearest pub

●       We aim to record events and gather outputs as they happen and produce outcome based evaluations. Words may be optional.

●       We believe funded work should be recorded and celebrated in a way that is accessible and exciting to all members of the public.
