1. Find a structure where every voice is heard. 2. Work from people's strengths. Make sure everybody is challenges creatively. 3. Work toward complexity rather than simplicity. 4. Do not expect to understand everything intellectually or rationally while creating. 5. Come to rehearsal with a fragment, not a completed idea. 6. Balance talking with doing. 7. Begin the collaborative process with showing material each member has created rather than telling each member about an idea that has not been created. 8. Try different approaches to the rehearsal process. 9. When confronting problems during the process, do a different activity together. Take a walk, go to the zoo, or see a movie. 10. Describe to each other how each individual in the group approaches art making when working alone. 11. Be willing to try everyone's ideas even if you have an instant dislike to those ideas. 12. If you have no connection to someone else's material and are having trouble performing it, try to expand your vision to include and learn from it.
