This
research
sheds
a
new
light
on
collective
creativity
by
studying
the
dynamics
of
choreographic
creation.
Ten
choreographers
were
interviewed
about
their
backgrounds,
choreographic
processes
and
collaborative
approaches.
The
interviews
were
semi-‐
structured
and
guided
by
Hargadon
and
Bechky’s
framework
on
collective
creativity
(2006).
This
model
was
thus
applied
to
a
purely
creative
setting,
with
some
interesting
implications
for
research
on
collective
creativity
and
for
organizations
and
managers.
Firstly,
several
important
issues
regarding
co-‐creation
were
highlighted
by
the
unique
setting,
including
the
informal
and
compulsory
nature
of
collaborative
creative
relationships
and
the
fact
that
co-‐creativity
can
be
implemented
differently
and
affected
by
different
factors
depending
on
several
distinct
approaches
to
the
creation
process.
In
addition,
this
research
identified
a
possible
fifth
dimension
to
the
model:
collective
research.
Secondly,
in
terms
of
practical
implications,
this
study
shows
the
importance
of
professionalizing
creativity,
the
need
in
some
creative
roles
to
have
continuum-‐related
careers,
and
the
need
to
adapt
creativity-‐reinforcing
actions
to
the
particular
team
and
task.
