As we approach the time in the term when you are preparing work in draft form to email to your supervisors to initiate a conversation on that work in order to support you in developing the work further and ready for submission in May, I wanted to share this established Feedback Response process pioneered by dance-artist, maker, scholar Liz Lerman - if you are not familiar with her work do look it up!!
Liz Lerman's Critical Response Process is widely acknowledged and used in dance and making contexts but also in practice-as-research, oepn dialogue and scholarly conversation.
Do, take a look and consider some of the principles of this process in relation to the process of your draft work submitted for feedback and how we advocate on this programme for a Feedback Exchange between student and supervisor...

ReplyDeleteDear Helen, good afternoon!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing this with us, it brings lots of food for thought...
I believe that Liz Lerman & John Borstel's 'Critical Response Process' provides a great structure for feedback, and one that I will surely be trying out in my professional life.
Based on my personal experience, I wonder how power dynamics play a role in this framework.
I see this working beautifully amongst peers, and in open workshop settings, but can the same level of 'neutrality' be maintained in an assessment context?
Wondering this both as a student and a teacher...
I will keep reflecting on this.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Elly
Valuable insights Elly! And I believe it all comes down to the intention of both sides. To keep this 'neutrality' both sides must constantly check their intentions as to power hierarchy predispositions vs mediating/facilitating roles. Although words may still be limited to describe human realms, intention has to do with our sense of being in relation to others, and it's definitely something we can self-check.
