ShayLynne Clark, a soon-to-graduate Weber State University student, worked with the WSU Chamber Choir and a student dance teacher to collaborate on a performance called "Coil." The project was part of Clark's research on how groups come up with ideas. She found that groups with a leader who steps back when ideas are flowing come up with more creative ideas than groups with an overbearing leader or a leader who doesn't truly lead. "Coil" will be staged Thursday. (Contributed photo)
