The group collaborative performance piece for CAPA1001 is essentially an illustration of how maladaptive behaviour can interfere and conflict with the social norms and social cohesion that share elements of time, place and space. The social experiments were conducted at the Ourimbah university campus, whereby some people were asked prior to social experimentation if they would like to participate, while others were not asked at all. This in turn enabled our project to receive a wider range of diversity in terms of reactions, and to assist the piece to be displayed as comical in the context as it was intended. The experiments included the use of whoopee cushions, stealing balls off pool tables while games where being played, randomly eating …show more content…
In this instance I chose to leave my group and join forces with James Lott; the single member group, to which Ebony Thomas-Lewis also left her group and join us. We agreed to meet up later in the day at the cafeteria to discuss concepts and ideas about a performance that we could later attach themes and elements of time, place and space. I was able to arrive earlier, and with no ideas that had yet sprung to mind, I took to my note book and started writing down anything I could see that separated individual scenes as if they were their own segment to a show. For example, a man playing his guitar in the corner on the band stand, students sitting around at tables talking, drinking and eating, people playing a game of pool, or students grossly engaged in the book they were reading and laptops they were using. James arrived shortly afterwards, and I discussed the concepts I was seeing with how shared units of time, place and space were correlating in terms of a social context. Ebony arrived soon after James, and we began to collaborate ideas further based on the social realm of
For my project III ethnography I am researching and observing the Jackson High School Drama Departments production of Annie: The Musical. The importance of this community is that it makes students involved be on there best behavior in order to participate. They have to stay of of trouble and be able to maintain a GPA that is required to be in the group. This group is also important because it is an expressive outlet that allows the students to be whoever they want to be. The drama department is made up of students from kindergarten to twelfth grade that attend Jackson city schools. Every student on cast and crew each has an important job to to in order to make the play successful. However in order to be successful the members of this group have to communicate to each other in many different ways. Some forms of communication are verbal while others aren't, but both ways are crucial in order to make to production succeed. Also communication doesn't just take place on stage, it takes place backstage and after practice too. Another way the group communicates with each other is using terms that and average person wouldn't understand. Throughout this paper I am also going to explore the idea of Discourse community and relate it to the drama club.
According to social cognitive theory, people and their environments mutually influence each other (Ormrod, 2011). People learn from the environment they are in, people they interact with, and behaviors they watch. People can learn by observing others and as they become older they can set their goals based on the accomplishments and the results of that learning. The video of the 4th grade, Canoga Park is about learning by observing, listening, and discussing a subject among the class-mates (4th Grade, Canoga Park, n.d.). In the video teacher is trying to teach the students about the importance of printing press. The teacher asked the students to divide in the groups of two called “pair and share” to discuss the views between two students first and then he asks the students to answer in a bigger group setting to assess whether the students learned the subject or not. The purpose of...
It is another extremely hectic Monday in the Emergency Department. The waiting room is building up fast with many new walk-in patients. Fire Rescue trucks are calling one after the next with several medical and trauma cases. The hospital supervisor is calling to inform the Charge Nurse of the Emergency Department that the Operating Room has several cases that need beds and will supersede the Emergency Department admits. Patient through put will now be further delayed. This is just one example of a typical Monday and why Teamwork and Collaboration are vital components to run an efficient nursing unit, especially in the Emergency Department. When a common goal is created to foster teamwork, health care professionals working cohesively together
Group is defined as two or more individuals, interacting and interdependent who have come together to achieve particular objectives. The group members must be interacting and interdependent. An individual is unable to perform all the activities. Group formation has become inevitable to achieve organizational objectives. Groups may be found and accepted by the organization. It may also be informal which is not recognized but functioning in the organization. Sometimes, informal groups are more effective in organization. Group dynamics are essentially used to increase productivity and profitability of an organization.
This week, I could see that it is impossible to understand a performance without knowing its social/ cultural context. At first I watched Jerome Bel’s The Show Must Go On, I found it was experimental. However, Shirtology, Bel’s another performance, was the weirdest and embarrassing piece that I had ever seen. It was a couple of days later when I could comprehend the intention of the video where he changes his shirts for six minutes. He was challenging the capitalistic structure of choreography; he was refusing to adapt to the tastes of the audience. In Cult Plastic, Voaugust says that “his work reveals how deeply we have been socialized and colonized to experience and create performances” (Voaugust, 2017). Artists cast a doubt on the social
An orchestra of power tools blare in the background as people move rapidly about carrying rolls of masking tape and wet paintbrushes. The commotion doesn't phase them. They are standing center stage staring into eachothers eyes, talking barely loud enough for only them to hear, not once noticing that they are in the wrong place for rehearsal. They’re in their own world, just the two of them. Boyfriend and girlfriend, Horton and Gertrude, Jackson and Kylie.
A team or group is a collection of people who are associated and interdependent in their tasks, share obligation regarding results, and view themselves as a unit inserted in an institutional or organisational framework which works inside the established boundaries of that system.(H.Kristin,2013)Teams and groups have shown a similar relationship within the bounds of the procedures and research identifying with their effectiveness(K.Steve, 2006) (i.e. group cohesiveness, cooperation) while as yet keeping up their freedom as independent units, as gatherings and their individuals are autonomous of each other's part, aptitude, information or purpose versus groups and their individuals, who are reliant upon each other's part, ability, learning and
Please note that the opinions expressed below are a generalization of the organization. Specific opinions may or may not apply to specific individuals.
Our society has institutionalized particular behaviors such as fixing our appearance, crying, belching, defecation, and flatulence deviant to perform in a public setting. Therefore, we rely on what Cahill terms as “performance regions” to relieve ourselves of these deviant behaviors. Public restrooms are performance regions that afford individuals the privacy (negative interpersonal rituals) to release bodily waste, cry, and discuss situations
1. Christine’s leadership abilities could benefit by having knowledge of the stages of group development. Specific to her situation, it seems that aside from the very first group meeting, Mike was not present for the forming stage of the group. As a result, questions such as “What can the group offer me?”, “Can my needs be met and still contribute to the group”, and other discovery inquiries did not get answered for Mike so he has not felt part of the team so he has withdrawn from the group. As a leader, Christine could have encouraged to Mike the importance of being present for group meetings so he can be part of the team. For example, at the lunch room incident when Mike walked away, she could have talked with him individually and explained to him that she perceives that he does not feel welcome and has been avoiding team meetings. Christine could address the how important it is to attend the team meetings, explain to him the “WWIFM” (what’s in it for me) aspects and the fact that team needs him as he has so much that could contribute and add value to the team. She could also indicate that the team’s success will only be possible when every member contributes. By doing so, she can help ensure that Mike is able to join the group during the forming stage and hopefully move quickly to the norming and then performing stages.
Group cohesion is a widely studied construct in the group dynamics literature. Extensive literature studies show that there is a lack of consistency and agreement regarding the construct and its use among the researchers who have created this literature (Friedkin, 2004;Greer, 2012). Despite the large pool of literature on the construct, there is still a divergent opinion on its nature, typology and its effect on performance and productivity. Group cohesion research has continued to generate interest and popularity (Greer 2012) as a widely studied construct in academic literature.
From reviewing Anthony Orchards organizational structure information the profit centers of the company are the sales department and the operation department. The cost centers of Anthony Orchard is the operations and processing departments and marketing, and investment centers of the company is the finance and the accounting departments.
Groups are defined as two or more people who work regularly with one another to achieve common goals (Schermerhorn, Hunt, & Osborn, 2005, Chapter 9). For a group to become a high-performance team, the team needs to be able to use their collective skills and behaviors to become an efficient model working towards a common goal. Having a common goal will make each team member accountable for the success and failure of the team. Since each team member is accountable to the team, each member's behavior will have an effect on the team. Cultural diversity and demographic characteristics affect an individual's behavior. Behavior caused by diversity and demographic characteristics will be a determining factor whether or not a group can be a high-performance team.
The first case study that I will be focusing on is “Meanwhile Backstage: Public Bathroom And The Interaction Order” by Spencer Cahill. The concepts that I will be drawing from in this case study are dramaturgy, and the i...
Performance metrics are used to determine and quantity improvement in processes. To develop performance metrics, it is important to collect data pertaining to critical work processes, understand the desired results and the development of realistic measurements to be used to quantify the process improvements. The goal of lean is to help in comparing performance levels with the benchmarks or established standards. In order to successfully develop project metric, it is it advisable to first define the project metrics. These include the goals, objectives, and project benchmarks. For example, if the process is to produce four inch rods. The upper limits and lower limit must be set probably 4m plus or minus 0.5m. Any deviation bellows 3.5m or beyond 4.5metres shall be considered out of control (Nicoletti, 2013). Process should always be within control. Collecting data is mainly to help in quantifying process improvement and not reduce products variability. The most commonly used metrics include speed, time, quality, quantity. In lean, both primary and secondary metrics must be defined.
