Here at Dd a substantial part of our mission is bringing rigorous review to dance performances. We think our critics know best how to bring context to their own art form. We believe such thoughtful analysis of our own community can broaden and engage the audience for dance and inspire its creators. In light of our devotion to this topic that is often taboo, we delight in these two videos from the MADE HERE project, tackling both sides of the critical conundrum: how to deal with reviews and getting into the mind of the critic.
WARNING: the f-bomb and other explicit words are dropped liberally in these videos (as the subject dictates).
