An idea I was thinking about in terms of the show's participatory nature is the question of - how does an audience know when it is okay to participate, when they are not expected to, when they are invited to and when they can but shouldn't feel as though they have to?
I think these questions relate to communities as well, maybe? When does a citizen feel that participating expected? Must they be invited? What level of participation does one commit to by taking on certain responsibilities? By participating in the Built event, what is an audience member committing to in terms of participation?
Just some thoughts..

I think "inviting" in community is an intriguing idea. Do we "invite" people to participate in their lives; in the building of 'habitat' (for humanity) homes; in dialoguing about their own stories of 'home' and safety, violence, urban dwelling? How does one learn autonomous participation?
