Dancers at Work Forum: Dance and Criticism

Art criticism everywhere, and particularly dance criticism, is on the decline in print media.  In this panel, local critics imagine how we can use other formats such as radio, internet and video to offset the decrease of criticism in print. This crisis is placed within the context of Chicago’s own need, as the nation's third largest metropolis, for a stable and robust base of sources to review and support the diversity of dance in the city. How do we create more opportunities to get to know dance artists and their specific approaches to creating movement? Can we conceive new models for dance criticism?

Moderated by Professor Susan Lee, Department of Dance at Northwestern University. 

With confirmed panelists including Zachary Whittenburg/Time Out, Laura Molzahn from SeeChicagoDance.com, and Brian Hieggelke from New City.
