A thorough introduction and lively exploration of a widely recognized method for giving and getting useful feedback

Winner of Silver Nautilus for Creativity & Innovation, given by Nautilus Book Award, 2023

Devised by choreographer Liz Lerman in 1990, Critical Response Process(R) (CRP) is an internationally recognized method for giving and getting feedback on creative works in progress. In this first in-depth study of CRP, Lerman and her long-term collaborator John Borstel describe in detail the four-step process, its origins and principles. The book also includes essays on CRP from a wide range of contributors. With insight, ingenuity, and the occasional challenge, these practitioners shed light on the applications and variations of CRP in the contexts of art, education, and community life. Critique Is Creative examines the challenges we face in an era of reckoning and how CRP can aid in change-making of various kinds.

Industry Reviews

"Liz Lerman and the CRP were critical to my introduction to Alternate ROOTS. The woman and the process have been core to my artistic development and to my ability to build community. This book is an essential tool for that development to continue."--Carlton Turner, co-founder of Sipp Culture

"The Critical Response Process(R) has transformed my work in developing new opera, helping to swathe robust criticism in grace and equanimity. Critique Is Creative is both an invaluable practical guide and a fascinating chronicle of the process in action."--Cori Ellison, Faculty, The Juilliard School, American Lyric Theater
