Erie Arts & Culture invites you to join us for a PRO Network webinar on Oct 27 at 6 PM on Facebook Live and Zoom. Beehive Dramaturgy Studio will present a webinar about giving and receiving creative feedback.

Whether you’re an artist, producer, audience member, or anyone else involved in a creative process, at some point you’re likely to find yourself on one side or another of a feedback session. For many artists, having audiences and observers reflect back to them what they have experienced is useful, but how do you elicit and parse those candid comments? And for those offering feedback, how can you utilize your experience of the work to best support the artist in achieving their vision? Beehive Dramaturgy Studio cofounders Molly Marinik and Jeremy Stoller offer some tips for how to make the most of feedback, including starting things off, developing a shared vocabulary, and approaching feedback in various collaborative contexts, so that everyone is moving forward together in the most productive and seamless way possible.
