Critical Responce Process – The Rites of Spring
participants working on their critical response technique
In May 2013 the first event in the Icelandic Writing Movement labs took place. A chosen group of dance artists and people from the cultural section of the Icelandic medias participated in a Critical Responce Process lead by Ólöf Ingólfsdóttir for The Rites of Spring by Melkorka Sigríður Magnúsdóttir and Lára Stefánsdóttir. The group was invited to a rehearsal followed by a discussion about the piece in accordance with the rules of Liz Lehrmann’s Critical responce process. This took place a week before its premiere by the Iceland Dance Company at Reykjavik Arts Festival the 24th of May 2013. Nine people attended and participated in a constructive and lively conversation.
