HELLO! Let’s talk… is a series of ‘conversation scores’* that hopes to provide facilitative frameworks for pairs and small groups to collectively think through practices and working processes.

Broadly speaking, when I say ‘practice’, I’m pointing to something that people care deeply about getting better in, regardless of whether it’s pursued ‘professionally’ as a career.

The first HELLO! score I developed was ‘HELLO! Let’s talk about process…’, and it was intended as an invitation to arts practitioners to engage with other arts practitioners about each other’s practices and processes. Since then, in response to my own needs and desires, as well as requests and questions from other people who have used the scores, I have developed a variety of other HELLO! scores. Notably, the series now includes a score for reflecting on and regrounding practices in this time of Covid-19.

HELLO! in this current form of conversation scores is on an indefinite pause, but if you have a specific request or feedback about the scores, do feel free to drop me a note anytime at guakhee@gmail.com (:

*I think of ‘conversation scores’ as the conversational equivalent of jazz music scores – that the score sets out a framework with a specific arc or journey, but people are welcome to riff off parts of the score, and play with or re-frame certain parts as is most intriguing or applicable for specific contexts!
