Critical Response Process: the basics
Liz Lerman’s Critical Response Process helps to shape constructive dialogues about works-in-progress. Using a series of steps guided by a facilitator, it affords both the maker and a group of responders a chance to ask questions, share reactions, and voice opinions with the goal of building a stronger work of art. The Process offers artists valuable information and engages professional peers, audiences, and community members in the artmaking process. Beyond its application in the arts, the Process contains useful approaches for all kinds of feedback conversations at home and in varied work settings.
The Critical Response Process is outlined briefly in this PDF.
We encourage people interested in using the Process to order Liz Lerman’s Critical Response Process, a 62-page book available from Dance Exchange, which offers a more in-depth exploration of the process and concrete guidance for facilitators.

As you may be aware, the cheapest price for a used paperback of the CRP text is currently $65 on Amazon, and no new copies are available. I would like to require my upcoming Fall 2020 On-Camera Acting class to read the full text over the summer. Do you know if new copies will be printed? I would rather that they read the full text because I adore it so. If not, I will direct them here, to the website, and the pdf and other info available here. Thank you!
