Critical Respons Process
For sustainability and awareness we find ownership of your creative process crucial. But how do you deal with that, when you need critique? Our answer is Critical Respons Process.
We would like to offer an introduction to a feedback method called Critical Respons Process, designed by American dancer, choreographer and pedagogue Liz Lehrman.
The method aims at giving tools for receptivity, pluralism, honesty and being specific when giving and receiving feedback.
