Abstract
Abstract This arts-based research study investigates the relational possibilities afforded by shared experience when participants are invited to collaborate in a tea gathering. Inspired by Japanese tea ceremony tradition and the relations of host and guests, who demonstrate mutual respect and appreciation through prescribed gestures, the author aims to translate and make more accessible the relational possibilities of this practice by inviting guests to collaborate and co-create the experience. Through these gatherings, participant-collaborators explore the interplay of relational potential, sensory experience, and collaboration. This article considers how the relational dynamics of host and guest can have implications for art education when the teacher is understood as a host to student-guests in interdependent roles.
