Thunderdome's Leadership Lessons
Manage episode 478697863 series 2712589
Thunderdome has been part of Black Rock City for 25 years. Marisa Winter has led it for most of that time. One need not experience it to benefit from the wisdom of a high-profile, high-intensity theme camp.
Marisa and Stuart talk through the leadership structure and community practices that result in Thunderdome's chaotic harmony of performance, showmanship, and cathartic “consensual violence.”
Marisa shares insights gleaned from decades of theme camp operation, like
· Letting people make non-permanent mistakes allows them to own the lessons
· Prioritizing community is never the wrong answer
· Making hard decisions ASAP attracts quality people
· How to schedule your crying day!
Listen in on their laughter, and tolerate the cringe stories (that prove Thunderdome is not cosplay), and you will be rewarded with the inspiration and institutional knowledge of the infamous Death Guild Thunderdome.
