Reference: Co-facilitation support

• Noticing someone wanting to participate
  • Hands, chat, gestures
• Watching for indications of wanting to participate
• Prompting with questions
• Drawing out quieter participants
• Going around and asking everybody - want to make sure it doesn’t feel like an interview in front of a crowd!
• Others relating to the experience?
• Someone says something resonant - make space for that
• Artists say name before they share, so we know even if not looking
