Critical Conversations #6: Giving Good Feedback
Advertisement
Topic: GIVING GOOD FEEDBACK Is being nice being kind?
Host: Artback NT
A thought-provoking session about the importance of honest, constructive feedback in artistic development - and why it matters for a strong and thriving arts sector.
When you've spent too long looking at your own work, it can be difficult to see it with fresh eyes. Thoughtful feedback can help identify what isn’t working, strengthen what is, and open up new directions for the work.
But giving and receiving meaningful critical feedback isn’t always easy. This can be particularly challenging in a small, close-knit arts sector like the NT. Sometimes being nice can feel kinder than saying what we really think, but avoiding difficult conversations doesn’t necessarily serve the artist, the work or the sector as a whole.
So how can we challenge one another’s work while maintaining trust and strong working relationships? And what does a healthy culture of feedback contribute to the wider arts ecology?
This session explores different approaches to giving and receiving feedback, with lessons from times it has gone wrong.
📅 Thursday 5 November, 5:30–6:30pm
📍 TRACKS Dance Studio, Darwin City
