Post: Critical Practice is a platform that aims to explore the possibilities the digital offers to criticism. Its aim is to develop approaches to online publishing whilst bridging the gap between academic and journalistic models of interpretation of contemporary performance, theatre and live culture.
Post: Critical Practice is a research-based platform which focuses on the relationship between curatorial strategies and critical practice. In its form, it aims to explore how we interact with criticism online and the possibilities of this interaction. In its content, it aims to challenge the current dominant models of interpretation of performance by developing new forms of contemporary critique.
Post: Critical Practice asks what can the digital offer in the development of criticism. How can contemporary criticism engage with the field of practice, its audiences and their discourses in order to be critical?
