Description
This dissertation examines the artistic side of dialogic interventions through a meeting designthat combines music-making and storytelling. I facilitated six dialogues across four
collectives with 20 participants. During the dialogue, each participant played a musical
instrument called the handpan while simultaneously telling a story. Within two days of the
meetings, participants described their experience of the dialogue through qualitative
interviews and drawings. Findings show that fusing art with dialogue facilitated trust by
creating conditions for relaxation, playfulness and presence. The dialogue also invited
invitational reflexivity and relationality, which may contribute to group flourishing. The
majority of participants felt heartfelt connections during moments of emotional
convergence. Those who did not connect to anyone experienced uncontrolled mental noise
and cautiousness. The study shows how the fusion of art and dialogue may
facilitate trust, dialogic moments, and relational outcomes that could contribute to the
relationality and inclusivity of a collective.
