Why does a summer camp drama activity want people to make up ideas as a group?

Can't they go solo? It's not easy going solo. It's also not easy going with the grain of the group either. By going with the grain of the group, I mean being accepting of other people's ideas as they are to your ideas. I know what going solo means, it's one person who goes solo either in a good way or a bad way. I did not intend to be selfish at the time, but i was unwittingly selfish and learned a lesson from that. All I asked for is to insist that everyone goes solo and coming up with more than one story from several different people. I like being an individualist but I cannot have to be under the impression that Canada is more of a collectivist society than a individualist society, just for a sake of having the passion to do my creative thinking the old fashioned way in summer camp drama classes. Being old fashioned is part of my culture and if my feat involves going Mr. Burns with my pens and pre-coiled paper with dramatic ideas, I should be able to exert this feat by creating like a Canadian summer camp dramatic the way I want. The definition of Canadian creativity means whatever the hell one wants it to mean. It's not an animation studio, it's not a film company, it's not a television station, it's summer camp, an unbiased establishment that glorifies the human imagination.
