Free admission

“Feedback Sessions” is an invitation to look into the artistic process with others. 


Before selected performances are premiered at MDT,  we are inviting a small group of audience members to meet, watch and discuss the work together. The aim is for these sessions to feel fruitful for both audiences and practitioners; creating discourse and supporting dance artists to understand their choices within their artistic process. 


Using tools from the Dasarts method and other ways of discussing and approaching work, “Feedback Sessions” hopes to create a shared space, free from forming judgments or defensiveness. 


With “Feedback Sessions”, we hope to collectively look into the artistic process, to share language and structure and create an opportunity for artists, colleagues and audiences to meet at an earlier and deeper phase of the artistic process. 


Each “Feedback Session” will be around two hours long. First we will watch a work in progress together, for a maximum of forty minutes. Then we’ll break for a brief fika for around twenty minutes. After this, the group will discuss the work for one hour. The hour will be moderated and scored, in order to give the artist(s) an insight into what the audience see and experience, and how their intentions for the work are landing for the audience.

 

“Feedback Sessions” is initiated and moderated by Karina Sarkissova, independent dramaturg, choreographer and curator.
