The Marshal Art of Cohado
This Breathin' Room features Paulo Gregory's magnum opus, The Marshal Art of Cohado, a tool to "marshal" people together. The 60-minute art experience reinforces collaboration towards maximizing asset and minimizing waste using the core values of a cooperative game, Cohado®. The experience can be applied to what we refer to as the Ground Game meaning, once the paradigm is understood, it can literally bring insight and guidance to any context or interaction. Cohado® also offers unlimited metaphors that can build understanding to many situations outside the Breathin' Room.
Productive dialogue among room participants is encouraged and guided by a spoken word docent who will also perform poems inspired by The Marshal Art of Cohado. The art experience culminates in an open and honest conversation with the featured artist, Paulo Gregory. Additionally, all participants will have an opportunity to play the physical game and will be given full access to Virtual Cohado® upon release.
