Everyday is a workday. Working on something ubiquitous as dialogue, and being attuned to thinking about everyday dialogue, means that everyday is the potential for a ‘work day’: Constantly thinking, learning and ‘working’.
Working: to do; productive or operative activity.
Learning: knowledge acquired by systematic study in any field of scholarly application; the act or process of acquiring knowledge or skill; the modification of behavior through practice, training, or experience.
We had a family trip to Hardcastle Craggs on a sunny Sunday afternoon and bumped into Alan Dix and Jenny Harris of 509 Arts doing some R&D at Gibson Mill. A quick catch up and talking about the talking about talking R&D of my own practice and we’re swapping suggested contacts for us each to respectively look up. Interesting to swap notes as their own R&D is currently talking to people too.
How do you engage people in dialogue, and meaningful dialogue at that? How do you approach people or invite people in to conversations?
