Visningsseminar med kritisk responsprosess

The article discusses facilitation in theatrical production in the Master’s Programme, focusing on a seminar form using showcase, including an adapted form of Liz Lerman’s Critical Response Process (CRP). In art-based research, the artist/researcher/student is the central theatre and knowledge-forming subject. Art, as well as knowledge, grows through a complex reflection of bodily, material, social and theoretical inputs. The more traditional forms of supervision tend to give the supervisor a more superior position, as master, or owner of the good questions. The seminar form puts the reflective artist’s project and questions at the centre of the facilitation, and offers an alternative to the traditional forms of guidance. A community of fellow students, teachers and participants have an active function as respondents, and the facilitator has a peripheral, but legitimate, position. The seminar form is discussed and presented using empirical data from student reports and Master’s theses.
