Critical Endeavour

Critical  Endeavour is an educational and workshop programme for emerging dance and performance journalists taking place for the first time during ImPulsTanz 2008 in Vienna. Critical Endeavour’s aim is to enhance public discourse on dance and to promote exchange about best practices, ethics, and responsibilities in criticism within the respective countries and contexts. In 2008 Critical Endeavour will be lead by renowned German dance critic and theoretician Franz Anton Cramer.

Possible Headlines
Some catchwords and topics that emerged during the first and second day discussion within the group, concerning ciritcal practice and writing strategies.

As an observer of these discussions, organised by Tiago Bartolomeu Costa, I noted them as possible headlines for future meetings, or conferences to set up:

"How to solve the problems we have ourselves created ?"

Critical Fiction

"The text is always a monster."

Chasing the Metaphor

"half-poetic phrases of destruction"
