A 4-day workshop (March 15-18) led by Bush Hartshorn on the subject of giving and receiving feedback, for artists, audiences, and others.

There will also be an introduction and practice in shared feedback methodology based on the Liz Lerman Critical Response. If time allows, we may also examine and practice other methods. We will work with artists participating in the Saturday Bazaar event of the festival, but the workshop is open to people from any field. It is important that the participants commit to the whole program.
