The meaning of collaboration
I had a chance to ask my friend in Swing Gang Jazz laboratory, about the meaning of collaboration when I asked him about his club’s collaboration with STEP-IN (there is an article of this topic before). I am thinking that there are many clubs in KUIS, but all of the clubs works in individual activity. Why don’t they collaborate more? I was simply imagine to all cultural club unite and make one group as new type of entertainment appearance. So I was asked to him, the meaning of collaboration. Here are some questions I asked to him. *What things you want to express to audience?
“I would like audience to know our activities by collaboration event. Anyway, it is fortunate that audience figure out we are doing activities in joyful.”
*There is lots of music clubs and oversea cultural clubs, is there any hope to unite these clubs in one activity group?
“I think it is difficult to unite all. However, for example it is unique to express varieties of collaboration activities for a week at central court of forth building. The basic meaning of collaboration is to communicate between clubs activities. If it is happen, cohesions of clubs get strong more than now, and that leads to motivate individual activities. Of cause, project must to be enjoyment for the audience at first. At least, I hope that many clubs will do collaboration offensively, and I would like to take part in as one member of Swing Gang Jazz laboratory.”
In these days, I am thinking that everything is connecting to each other. Language, music, dance, charity, anyway, everything is connecting to express ourselves by doing your specialized skills. That specialized skill can be anything. I hope many things connect to you, “and the world will live as one”. What I meant in here is, by connecting many things is can be the seeds of friendship, and peace.
Collaboration is fun, I think, but when I do with with people at school, there is an eagerness for one group to stand out the most. And that group is usually the one with the most money from the school.
When two or three groups get together, there is harmony, but when more than that join there, there is a a tendency for the leaders not to get along and to fight for power. Also, if too many groups are together, the message gets lost. If "jazz," "funk," "reggae," "gospel," "enka," "korean wave," "world beat," "salsa," and all these other different types join together, then what is the point? "Music"?
Sometimes, it's better to collaborate on a small basis. The same is true in international politics, for example. Having "ASEAN," "EU," "AU," is better than the United Nations, because these groups individually do things better than the UN.
