The author of the Theater review doesn't have the hand of God, only his Achilles heel
A man must serve his time to every trade. Save censure — critics are ready-made. Lord Byron
This workshop aims to analyze the role of the (non-)existence of theater critique in Portugal, its purposes, methods and types of discourse; discuss the difference between to opine and to review; talk about the essentiality of what is being discussed when criticizing; outline the essential aspects that make up a theater review and provide participants the ability to produce them.
Sharing meanings
Dance can be discussed, debated, written about, analyzed and explored from a wide variety of perspectives. Alexandra Carter (1994)
Taking into consideration the previous statement, the aim of this workshop on dance criticism is to identify points of view that make up the territory of the discipline, discussing them in terms of usefulness and opportunity for approaching choreographic work and its creators' trajectories. Thus, what to criticize?, how to criticize?, why criticize?, will function as guiding questions of a persistent and certainly unfinished debate. In a second session, the workshop will offer an opportunity to share ideas and texts of critical analysis about the same choreographic work.
