Part 2: Writing about collaboration

In an average day here, I work with 3 people directly. I help do some of the tasks that they would eventually have to deal with. I take some of the load off their work.

Direct Collaboration.
When I help set up the dance show, I am doing direct collaberation with others. Me and a couple other people bring in the tables, lights (candles), chairs, table clothes, signs, etc. And we work together to put everything where it goes before the patrons come up the stairs to take their seat. Without us, the room wouldn't be set-up, and the audience would have no place to sit and drink, and would eventually feel uncomfortable and tired because they'd be standing up. 
Another moment of collaboration is when we bring everything back to where it goes. Everyone works in taking down the tables washing the wine glasses, putting away the table cloths. Cleaning up the food, and putting the chairs back into the room, storage closet, and car they came from.

Indirect Affect.
Okay, so throughout the week, I work with the table cloths, ironing them so they look neater on the table. I was also working with the candles, trying to find a way to get them to stick together and be brighter so the dance room wouldn't be too dark. I placed the forks and knives into the napkins, so it feels like a resturant. The dinner part of the show is like a resturant because of that, and the table cloths don't look as wrinkled.
For one of the weeks, I set the flowers up and arranged them nicely so they could decorate the room for the showcase. That also affected the feel of the room. Umm... I don't think I understand the question. But yeah.
