CALL:

Performing arts criticism across national borders

Performing artists in Norway increasingly tour their productions internationally. Parallel to this, criticism expands from traditional news media to new publishing platforms. Do performing arts reviews contribute to international dissemination of performances? What role does criticism play in a major Nordic newspaper and in a web editorial run by critics?

Arctic Arts Festival and Ravnedans invite performing artists, writers and critics to lectures and workshops on performing arts criticism in a globalized world.
