Shared repertoire definition
Shared repertoire provided a means for members to connect with each other. Not only was there the setting of the rehearsal, the script or the collective understanding, but members connected and discussed their own backgrounds and beliefs in relation to their past experiences. Both productions formed their own system or ways of doing things and formed their own in- jokes based on the material of the production as time went on. These were some examples of the ‘routines, words, tools, ways of doing things, stories, gestures, symbols, genres, actions or concepts that the community has produced or adopted in the course of its existence, and which have become part of its practice’ (Wenger 1998, p. 83).
