10th Indonesian Dance Festival: Goethe Institut Regional Critic Workshop
June 14-18, 2010, Jakarta
Thanks to an invitation from Frank Werner, Regional Head of the Cultural Program Department at the Goethe Institut Indonesia, Keith Gallasch, Managing Editor of RealTime, was delighted to attend the 10th Indonesian Dance Festival (titled "Powering the Future") in Jakarta to run a review-writing workshop for the insititut in response to four days of exhilarating dance from Indonesia, Taiwan, Japan, Korea and Europe.
The participating writers came from the Philippines, Cambodia, Vietnam, Thailand, Singapore, New Zealand and Indonesia. After a day of discussion. the writers then settled into four more of rapid turnaround reviewing of the shows they were seeing each evening, discussing the works, polishing their reviews, sharpening their attentiveness to all aspects of dance performance.
The aim of the workshop was to improve the capacity of reviewers to vividly evoke the works they experience for their readers. Good reviewing (whether or not it consciously includes social, political and economic perspectives and passes critical judgment) cannot work effectively without this skill. Openness, strong recall, rich vocabulary, a structured response, the careful delivery of judgment, these were the workshop focus. We hope that the workshop will further bring together dance artists and writers in the region.
