The Signum Collaboratory is an interactive, creative community. Subscribers to the Collaboratory not only get access to our library of books and videos as they grow, but they also get the opportunity to roll up their sleeves and get involved in our creative projects. Our members will engage in discussions, make suggestions, and even meet with authors and production teams.

Signum Studios is producing content for the Collaboratory. Some examples:

The Knewbettification of the Silmarillion – Knowledgeable personality Knewbettadobetta provides informative, bite-size videos explaining elements from The Silmarillion.

Exploring Peter Jackson’s The Lord of the Rings – Drs Corey Olsen and Maggie Parke provide scene-by-scene analysis of the trilogy, exploring adaptation choices and Jackson’s vision. They’re in it for the long-haul.

Hip Hop and Tolkien – Knewbettadobetta and Corey Olsen go deep into comparing popular hip hop songs to poems from Tolkien’s writing. It’s brilliant.
