  • published Critical Response Process Workshop in Upcoming Events 2023-05-07 16:07:29 -0700

    Critical Response Process Workshop

    The Ceramics Program supports the creative efforts of a wide array of artists in the Boston area - potters, sculptors, painters, etc. We pride ourselves on our community and we understand that many times, students wish to engage in thoughtful dialogue and critique on work outside of the classroom. In a hopes to promote further engagement between our community members, we have asked John Borstel and Catherine Stewart to introduce us to the Critical Response Process (CRP).

    If you are doing creative work, you are experiencing feedback: invited or unsolicited, formal or casual, in dialogue with others or in your own head. Handling and applying feedback can be decisive in how we value our work, how we grow, and how we sustain a sense of community in artistic contexts. The Critical Response Process (CRP) devised by choreographer Liz Lerman in 1990, is a four-step process and toolkit of principles for guiding actionable feedback on creative works in progress. CRP emphasizes the power of questions and the potential of informed dialogue between an artist and a group of responders. It offers principles to animate generative conversations between creative collaborators and peers.

    Participants in this workshop will learn CRP as a structured feedback method that leaves the maker eagerly motivated to get back to work. We’ll explore CRP’s principles of meaning, inquiry, and engaged/suspended judgment, and experience applications to enhance personal and collective learning, support peer dialogue and artistic conversations, and bring clarity and abundance to creative process. While this workshop centers craft and visual artwork, it welcomes people from all creative disciplines.

    Workshop Fee: $150.00 for Adult Community and Harvard Graduate students; FREE for Harvard Undergraduates
