Critique Is Creative by Liz Lerman and John Borstel
Devised by choreographer Liz Lerman in 1990, Critical Response Process® (CRP) is an internationally recognized method for giving and getting feedback on creative works in progress. Grounded in values of respect, personal agency, and inquiry, CRP helps sharpen skills in observation, listening, managing opinion, and articulating process. But how does it work in process across disciplines?
In this first in-depth study of CRP, co-authors Liz Lerman and her long-term collaborator John Borstel describe in detail the four-step process, its origins, and its principles, then turn their pages over to a wide range of contributors who have used the process, whose essays constitute the second half of the book. With insight, ingenuity, and the occasional challenge, this group of practitioners sheds light on the applications and variations of CRP in the contexts of art, education, and community life. The book also examines the challenges we face in our current era of reckoning and how CRP can aid in change-making of various kinds.
